“American Progress” by John Gast is an intriguing painting. It has many elements and details that create a moving image for the viewer. When viewing the painting the first aspect I noticed was the dominant, female, angel figure in the center of the painting. It seems that she has a significant role in the painting due to the position and enlargement of the character. I interpret her presence in the painting as a godly figure who is guiding and protecting the people. However, the angel could also…

Compromise between both sides of the debate allowed the Constitution to be completed and later ratified by all of the states in 1789, as there were aspects of the new American…

criticized. Many critics question the act's effectiveness or if it's enough to combat this massive species loss. A Center for American Progress study says that the ESA works, but it's not enough.

Money needs to be donated to the American Association of University Women and the National Women’s Law Center because without the proper funding, women will continue to be pushed away from careers in science, technology, engineering, and…

had seen my friend, and we planned out what we were going to do that week I visited. I knew I wanted to visit Spellman College, Morehouse College, Clark Atlanta University, and Morris Brown College, but before I could visit the Atlanta University Center or the “AUC” as it is called to the locals, I felt compelled to visit the grave site of one of the most influential human being to walk this earth.
