I could recall hearing my older friends, who happened to be juniors and seniors, talk about Afro. Through many conversations the class was described as eye opening, interesting, and fun. It was surprising to hear kids who normally don’t like school have passion behind the words they spoke for this class. I was able to…

Malcolm’s car is not in the driveway. I hope his meeting with Lily had been copacetic. I don’t care to be alone, so I knock at Emese’s front door. “Hello, lovely to see you,” she says, and invites me into the foyer. “How are you?” “I’m not sure. It’s been a crazy day.” “There’s roast chicken with tarragon in the oven,” she says, “I’d love for you to join me for an early dinner.” “Thanks.” We walk into the kitchen. The smell of food comforts me. She nods for me to sit, and arranges…

Huey reflected upon the mis-treatment in his book To Die for the People; "The police were very brutal to us even at that age" (Newton 53). Police harassment and physical abuse of Black people became part of every day life for many Blacks across the country. Although the Civil Rights movement was mainly a Southern phenomenon, the non-violent ideology and integrationist focus of the movement became according to historians Floyd W. Hayes and Francis A. C.

song’s iconic lyric: “can’t touch this” (“U Can’t Touch This”). While the song accurately represents Act IV of Macbeth, it also covers one of the motifs seen throughout the play: clothing that is representative of power or social status.

Macbeth’s reassurance in his immortality strengthens his role as king. This new found strength is…
