Malcolm X had stated this during one of his anti-discrimination rallies to motivate his followers to take a stand. A human rights activist, Malcolm X sparked a revolution which encouraged active defiance against racism, a new tactic among leaders fighting for racial equality which…

Game Changing Anxiety I have to admit, despite being very anxious I was excited for tryouts. The bad thing was that I was freaking out about little things that were out of my control. I was so worried about what position to try out for, if I’d make A or B team, and so on. Little did I know how I’d ruin some of the fun of basketball. Luckily for me, I came out of it with a little more knowledge about life. Even before tryouts started I was stressing myself out. I thought that I had to play…

“to negative all laws passed by the several States contravening, in the opinion of the national Legislature the articles of union, or any treaties subsisting under the authority of the Union.” This clause came under attack on June 20, when John Lansing (NY) questioned whether “the members of the general Legislature be competent Judges,” and asserted that if the federal government were to have a veto, “the States must be entirely abolished.” The Convention debated the clause again on July…

In the modern United States of America, all people of all races are to be treated equally under the eyes of the law. There are no “separate but equal” schools, water fountains are not race specific, and anyone is allowed to sit wherever they want on the bus, no matter the color of their skin. Although these things seem obvious today this is not how America always was. These dramatic changes to our society came about in the mid-nineteenth century during the civil rights movement. This peaceful…

When was the last time you had extraordinary customer service? If you’ve been to any store here in Lansing, then you know it is a rare thing to receive decent customer service. For example: the other day I went to Meijer, and received the worst customer service from a cashier. The cashier ringing me up did not say a single word to me till the end of the transaction. I decided to see if it was just me they did not like. I sat in front of the lane, and watched how the cashier treated other…

There was no tourist information centre and no one that I had spoken to had any idea of things to do apart from Mall of America. Even East Lansing in Michigan had a tourist information centre, and it is a fraction of the size of Minneapolis.
