Black Hills

I grew up in a small town called Haron, the population was about 1,500. It was a small town, nothing bad ever happened. Everyone was so friendly and kind to each other. There was only one high school so all my friends were practically living on the same block as me. Most of our hangout spots were at the café or the bowling alley, there wasn’t that much to do in Haron. I lived on a small farm just near widow creek. In my town, Widow Creek was forbidden by Mayor Judson, I’ve always wanted to know…

this weeks theme of love and happiness one of the readings that stood out to me the most was Shirley A. Hill’s article titled, “Black Intimacies: Love, Sex, and Relationships—The Pursuit of Intimacy.” This article is based, according to Hill’s, the relation between race and class and its role it has on African American intimacy (415). While reading this article, Hill makes an interesting clams in regards to her thesis—the relationship between race and class and its effects on African American…

Especially for her most common and famous hit, nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Rap Solo Performance, “Mystery of Iniquity.” Through this song, it is luminous to see that Ms. Hill is “awoke.” She realizes problems and situations in the world that many others may…

on society which the masses accepted. Similarly, Hill-Collins argues that controlling images are used by the elite to control African-American women and justify the many years of oppression seen since slavery. Both scholars argue that the masses have accepted the images portrayed to them, however, Hill-Collins argues that the African-American community has accepted these images unaware of how it reinforces oppression. In addition, both Adorno and Hill-Collins argue that media is a tool in…

Part 1: Hill’s Document, Klan Violence Against Blacks The Klan wanted him to stop preaching and giving other black people hope. Making other black people feel as if they are worth more than they are seen as. The Ku-Klux sees it as black people “stepping out of place.” A place that was made for them, a place they needed to sit quietly in. I believe Hill wasn’t killed because of the large impact he had on other black people. They knew people trusted him and his word, so they felt they would get…

both weren't in good health conditions. "In fact, Parks took care of everyone(Hill 528)." This evidence shows that from a young age, she was responsible. Parks was an observant child and knew how blacks were being treated wasn’t right. From stories told by her grandparents about slavery and experiences in her daily life, Parks started viewing segregation as intolerable and did whatever she could to avoid segregated places(Hill 528). This shows how this evidence relates to how her experiences…

In her book Black Sexual Politics, Patricia Hill Collins states, “The growing interconnectedness of prison, street, and youth culture, with the importance given to hierarchies of masculinity, became repackaged and sold within the commoditized relations of global mass media. These ideas now permeate not only African American culture but also have become markers of a new form of authentic Blackness” (Collins, pg. 211). In my personal opinion, I agree with Patricia Hill Collins’ view on how African…
