Reluctantly waking up after only three hours of sleep, I prepared mentally for the arduous task that lay ahead of me. Hastily, I showered and wore my "despicable me - Minion" scrubs. After a quick breakfast, I headed out on a thirty-minute car ride to work. Knock, Knock, it's me Ponnia. No response. Ding Dung I rang the bell, and finally, Mrs. Parker opens her door. Who are you?

The moment you step into the exhibition “A New Republic” by Kehinde Wiley on the fifth floor of the Brooklyn museum, you are embraced with a sense of equality. You look around and all you see are black men and women captured in various mediums by the artist where you can clearly see the uniqueness. At the center of the exhibit are glass stain portraits; sculptures surround half the room and the other half has 22k gold leaf, oil on wood panel or oil on linen paintings. The paintings are large in…

Men through centuries have felt entitled to own and posses women. In the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron, Tony Stark, the character played by Robert Downey Jr said that he would reinstitute prima nocta if he were king of Asgard; prima nocta is the right of a king to bed a woman on her wedding night.

I. Introduction Colonization of Africa by European countries was a monumental milestone in the development of Africa. The African community considers the impact of colonization on them to be perhaps the most important factor in understanding the present condition of the African continent and of the African people. The historical background of the colonial period in Africa may be traced back to the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade by the British in 18th century (Oduwobi, 2011). Interest…
