Psychologically Weak When I think about the life I’ve had, many of the memories that come to my mind are happy and joyful. The bad things that have happened have been pushed to the small back corner of my mind, never to be thought about again, unless needed. Those bad memories do not follow me around, or dictate any of my life decisions. They stay where I filed them away to, in the back. All of my life has been filled with family, friends, love, and happiness. I am so grateful for that, but…

By having politicians in office who will make a stand and help prevent police…

Tupac Shakur was born in 1971 in New York to two Black Panther activists; you could say social justice ran in his blood. Tupac grew up surrounded by poverty, drugs, and crime but wanted to make a better life for himself, so he did. He became a rapper and in his songs and lyrics he would talk about social issues, for example “Brenda’s Got a Baby” is a song about teen pregnancy and the inability to raise a child, and “Dear Mama”, a song where Tupac discusses poverty and drug addiction in his…

Liverpool/Dublin Journal 2: A Curious Man Teaches Me Skepticism I was in the People’s Museum in Manchester perusing the struggles of the people when, a older gentleman approaches our group. He had a younger companion accompanying him. This man sported a Carolina Panthers t-shirt. He was rather tall, and a distinctly British accent. Once he inserted himself into our conversation he proceeded to tell his life story, about how we worked for a time in Texas. He went on to describe how he wanted to…

what I’ve heard. Another reason why I feel that this would work very well in my article and back up my thesis-in-process is due to another form of resistance: the organizations that they were in. These organizations include SNCC, SDS, and the Black Panther parties. By doing so, they are confronted with danger and try to further the cause under these organizations, whether it would be facing police brutality or looting White supremacists out of whatever they had on…
