At the turn of another century, the citizens of New Orleans are called to reflect on what has happened in the city. While some may reflect on major events (i.e. Hurricane Katrina and Super Bowl), I turned my attention to the people. The people who worked the district of Storyville and now work Bourbon Street. Correction, the women, the sex workers who have either chosen the dancer lifestyle or it has been chosen for them. According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline in 2017, Louisiana had…

1492, many sought refuge in the Netherlands. Other Jews crossed the ocean to settle in the Dutch colony in Brazil. In 1654, Portugal recaptured this colony and the Jews scattered throughout the Caribbean starting new communities. The first group of 23 Dutch Jews landed in New Amsterdam (New York) in 1654. This was the beginning of Jewish life in America. Prior to this arrival a Sephardic Jew arrived at James City, Virginia on the HMS Abigail in 1621, and the second arrival lived in Boston in…

ESPN started with just two men when one, Bill Rasmussen lost his job as communications director for the New England Whalers in 1978. Bill’s dream, along with his son Scott was to change the way the news industry operated, and they did just that by creating the first 24-hour network, and the first to exclusively air sports news. The very first show to air was on September 7th, 1979, live from the ESPN studio. In 1983 they began to distribute programming internationally. After discovering that it…

However, the gentrifying process overlooks the implications for the marginalized group already there (Loughran). The displacement of the densely low income populated residential area over the school construction is what Harvey would refer…

Georgia is a beautiful place. There are tall trees, beautiful flowers, and clean air where I live. Friendly faces that say “Hello” when you walk by. Of Course, it 's not perfect but compared to where I used to live it 's a safe haven in its own way. I 'd like to go into detail about where I lived and how it 's different from where I am now.

To this day, New York city remains a safe haven of mine; I hold the memories I made both with my father and by myself very close to me. Growing up only an hour train ride away, as time passed, my love for the iconic city grew. Visiting Manhattan became an addiction. The more I explored, the more varying characters I encountered.

It was then passed over to the Spanish, who also followed…

People who believed in God and Jesus as Savior, wouldn’t anymore. And those that had not believed, fell farther into disbelief. The Devil was cunning. He did his job well. He had his foot into everything… Iraq, now a democracy, was a melting pot, a haven for terrorist, dying to take a shot at an American. With democracy came the freedom to choose what religion one wanted. But it was against the law to even speak against “Islam“. It was religion and government all tied into one. If you did that…
