Free people of color

“America” the home of the free and brave where everyone is equal, does this actually hold true today? Racism has been said that it has been relieved from america, yet racism is still happening and has been for over two-hundred and fifty years. Why is the “great” America going through such a difficult time to get rid of racism, when we are supposed to be the place where everyone should feel safe? Racism is viewed as a horrible thing that has been around in America every since it was discovered.…

children. The Harvard Healthy eating plate encourages consumers to drink water, since it’s naturally calorie free, or to dry coffee and tea, which are also great calorie-free alternatives (Harvard). Myplate doesn’t even include water. Parents should know that both of these recommendations are lacking proper hydration information. The harvard article says to drink water only because it is calorie free but not for hydration. Water isn’t just a healthy alternative to sugary drinks, it is an…

painting, The Large Bathers, has influenced many artists, particularly those that include nude figures in their work. This essay will describe how two of those artists in particular, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, have been inspired by and broken free of this particular Cézanne painting; their works to be discussed are Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life) and Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, respectively. Flam (2012) described The Large Bathers as having no emotion, nor having a polished finish, yet was…

I have a dream that we as a culture, the American culture can evolve as a species past the point of racism in government, law, and centralized self-prejudice. We as a people have been sustained in a loop of depravity and social strife chained by bottomless contradictions. For years such iconic figures as Martin Luther King, Malcom X, Cesar Chavez and Tupac Shakur have been out spoken about breaking the chains of social injustice among minorities. Yet, ever since the iconic words “I have a dream”…

Does peaceful resistance to laws positively or negatively impact a free society? While most people might argue that it positively impacts a free society, I think it negatively impacts because of Gandhi’s defiance of British colonial laws over the empire’s salt monopoly, The Civil Rights Act, and our president, Donald J. Trump, and the pipelines passing through sacred land. “Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.” -Henry David Thoreau Gandhi’s defiance of…

Alain Renais, uses actual black and white footage of the conditions of Auschwitz that was filmed by Nazi officials in 1933. In addition, he used his own (color) footage of Auschwitz several years after the camp was no longer in use and the war was over. The constant switching between black and white old footage and what was at the time current color footage could just be understood as the director attempting to show the audience the difference between the situation during the war and after the…

Matisse builds upon Cezanne’s use of color and form to depict his own interpretation of bathers while Picasso uses color in his depiction of a nude scene in a very different way. Paul Cezanne’s, Large Bathers, depicts a moment in time as impressionist’s were apt to convey with their work. However, the women shown are drawn abstractly. Their bodies almost blend into the landscape. The lines of their backs mimic the lines of what appear to be trees and the colors of the painting blend into…

Abraham Lincoln, “The Great Emancipator” When you ask someone who Abraham Lincoln was they right away can help you with an answer. They most often tell you he was the sixteenth president or the more importantly answer, “He was the president who help free the slaves.” Those both are correct but the reason why were here talking about this great man is because of all the things he did that led to his accolade “The Great Emancipator”.

The U.S. Constitution supports a freedom of speech,…
