Free people of color

A great source of protein and a wonderful choice for breakfast, eggs have been a staple of the American diet for many years. They come in many sizes and colors and can be found in every grocery store. My favorite eggs are from Natural Grocers because they have cage free and free range eggs which means that the chickens have enough room to freely roam without being caged. They also sell eggs without hormones or growth promoters. Hormones and growth promoters are unhealthy and accelerate the…

Moreover, through such commonalities, assumptions and claims the apparent concern of the ‘color-line’ can be exposed to being an issue that is still widely present within the 21st century; regarding the separation of people of color in general. Evidently, very few of the similarities found within the writing are relating to race and nationality. The author and his audience are both presumably Americans,…

meanings for freedom and liberty, since I was too afraid to disagree with my radical republican step-father. So, with my caffeine and philosophy filled nights came a beautiful word: equality. In this past year, more than one-hundred men and women of color were murdered due to police brutality, ninety-two of those deaths were in January alone.
