I’ll always believe in the fact that we have to live our lives to leave a positive imprint for those around us to remember. It’s inspiring how the lade Carnegie Mellon was able to positively acknowledge his reality and make it through with the lecture and be completely acceptable with the end of his life. Being Hispanic…

Over one million Cubans immigrated to the United States in the 1960 's and 1970 's. When Cubans first started immigrating because of political differences, they came on airplanes and were dropped off in Miami.

The audience watches this boy grow up through key moments depicted from his childhood, teenagehood, and young adulthood. Such key…

In “Red Skin is a Bad Name” by Baxter Holmes, and “Redskin is Not a Bad Name” by Daniel Snyder, the two discuss their two different views about the NFL’s “Washington Redskins”. Many, including Baxter Holmes, believe the name “Redskins” represents a derogatory word for the Native American indians. Holmes clearly states how the name represents the Phips Proclamation in 1755 where many people were paid to kill Native Americans. Meanwhile on the other hand, many biased supporters such as Daniel…
