Reconstruction can be defined as “something that is being rebuilt after being damaged or destroyed.” After the Civil War finally came to an end in 1865, that “something” that needed rebuilding was our country, as well as the rights of the…

It was in March, 18, 2010, when i first came to the “Dream Land,” or should i call it, “The land of opportunity for everyone - every race, every ethnic groups, and every cultures.” Well, this is what America known as to other countries- at least to my country. I remember it was early in the morning when I landed to the American soil. The sun was just rising and peaking over the horizon. I couldn’t wait to to smell the American “air.” When i finally got out of the JFK, I smelled the air. I didn’t…

Colorism is the discrimination and or prejudice of one based not strictly on ethnicity but on skin color.

Despite disputing assertions, this blatant prejudice is…

Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird is a classic coming-of-age social drama novel that has been taught in classrooms for many years.

still pretty big in the south. Lynching had been happening for a few years before the song was released. While definitely a way to dehumanize African Americans, which is wrong, there was some reasons for them other than simple hating of a different race. Some of the lynching were as a way to get back at the black people, especially in case of the kids who couldn’t be sent to jail because they were too young. In an article this is exactly what happens. It states: “the lynching of two Negro boys…

just wanted to know more, like what the social implication are of this type of oppression. No one wants to believe someone they know or are someone they are taught to emulate (i.e. police men) could ignore the dignity of human beings based on their race, but it happens. I hope that in reading more works by people or color, and taking…
