the result of rapid growth of the tissue while the skin hasn't grown as quickly. The skin ends up with small ridges that the body repairs with new skin growth that become scars. These may begin as dark purplish marks that eventually turn a silvery color. The skin also has a different consistency with the areas being harder and dryer than surrounding skin. What is Laser Treatment? One way to reduce or eliminate scars and stretch marks is by laser stretch mark removal. Lasers are tiny light…

“History is written by the victors.” Most of American history is written, in a sense, by the victors - the ones who could read, write and record daily life happenings to transcend through the centuries. Based on a true story, Jubilee by Margaret Walker brings to life of the Southern United States in the 19th century before, during and after the civil war through different perspectives and unusual relationships of the characters. Set in the deep south in Georgia, Jubilee is based off of the…

so many people including me. Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in the MLB, he served in the military, and he had one of the biggest influences in the civil rights movement. First of all, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in the MLB. When he played in the MLB he received shouting, spitting, cussing, and worse. Through all the ridicule he still played like a champion. Whenever I think about other people's opinions on me, I remind myself that it doesn’t matter what other people think.…

that slavery remained legal. The idea one person owning another, like they were property, seems hard to believe in the modern-day, but in the antebellum South it was just a fact of life. Solomon Northup, the main character of 12 Years a Slave, was a free, educated, black man who lived in New York, with his wife and young son and daughter. Mr. Northup was kidnapped, while in Washington D.C., and sold into slavery at a New Orléans ' slave market. Mr. Northup’s time as a slave was full of…

the African American people had to go through. In the poem Du Bois talks about the suffering of the African Americans and says, “I am the smoke king /I am black …/I am the thought of the throbbing mills; /I am the soul of the soul-toil kills, /Wraith of the ripple of trading rills;” (Du Bois). This quote is extremely important because there are many point which he talks about; first is the word “smoke” which, is talking about smoke coming from factories where many black people were working at…

for me to better empathize with people of color who experience racism on the daily. I am not saying that people of color and the queer community face the same struggles, but there are some definite parallels between the two. Race and sexuality are two different dimensions of humanity that can intersect in different ways in different people. Since I am a white cis-gendered pretty much straight-passing male, I face a lot less discrimination than a transwoman of color might face. One of the biggest…

at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The medium of the painting is tempera on panel. The artist’s style consists of slightly visible brushstrokes with an almost surreal form. There is not much variety of color, but that quality unifies all the separate, differing shapes. Since the same colors are usually placed in every part of the painting, the entire work is balanced. However, Shahn still effectively applies emphasis in strategic places, such as the beast and the dead bodies. The artist…

With a view that defines beauty, different buildings are something I see. Some made out of brick others with pointy tips. Brown, red and white are common colors too, however some are able to change colors each night depending what they choose. Small buildings to large skyscrapers are always a sight to see with different rooftops that can make you free. Bright lights to dark alleys,…

identified and treated the people of St. Domingue horribly and as if they where inferior to them. They forced them to work and ranked people based on how much “black blood” they had. The hundreds of ranks that where made gave everyone different names, like mulatto, and determined how they lived and where treated. People of color where not equal, and noticed this. So they decided to ask for freedom. Freedom was denied by the government, and the tension between whites and people of color grew…
