Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome

If I had the opportunity to go shopping with an unlimited amount of money to spend, I would want to go to Minnesota. In Minnesota they have the Mall of America, but they also have other malls that I could shop at. I would want to travel with my mom and my sister in law, Kelsey. Even though I would have unlimited money, that is not what this trip should be all about. I should focus on the good times that I have with my family. The first place in the Mall of America that I would approach would be the Nike store. At the Nike store, I would buy Nike Elite shorts, Jordan shorts, Nike running shorts, tank tops, shirts, leggings, and pairs of socks. I would also pick out a few pairs of shoes. I would want a new pair of basketball shoes. I would also grab a few pairs of Nike slides. The next shoe I would get includes the normal running shoes. Next I would move to Footlocker, and I would invest in a new pair of white converse. I would also buy a few styles of Birkenstocks and my mom a few pairs of work shoes. Then I would go to the Apple store and buy some new apple products. I would buy ipads, iphones, and macbooks. I would than go to bath and bodyworks and acquire some new bath bombs, along with body wash and lotion. I would then cruise to Buckle and buy some new fancy clothes to wear. For fun, next I would go to Build a Bear Workshop. I would make a bear with my mom and my sister in law. We could pick out any bear that we want and then put a heart in it. After we are done with…

In the early twentieth century, African-Americas in the southern states were fighting for racial equality. Racial discrimination deprived African-Americans from acquiring decent jobs, education and the right to vote.

On election night, Nixon won with 301 electoral…

Civil rights amendments, three amendments that gave African Americans to do everything that the white people could do. Even though slavery was abolished and there were equal rights for voting and protection, after these amendments were passed all hell broke loose. In 1954 Brown vs Board of Education was a big court case about segregation. Right after Brown won the court case America was in a hell hole. Then in 1963 two speeches that were about segregation will never be forgotten. Staring with…

One of the main figures in the poem is vice president of the United States, Hubert Humphrey, and his role in the Vietnam War serves as a lens through which the images of power and sacrifice can be understood throughout the poem. In the poem, David describers the Vice president as “expensively dressed, immensely hearty,” and as a man “who had publicly defended, had praised the terror bombing of villages full of peasants.” Upon meeting him, “David did not feel he could take [the Vice president’s…
