The unjustified Klan What do you think of when the KKK is brought up? Is it hate, or is it racism?Even though the KKK was an underground campaign, it was still well-known. Mostly for its mass parades and cross burnings. The Ku Klux Klan, formed for the idea of white-supremacy,will be remembered throughout america’s history. To start off, the main idea of the Ku Klux Klan was to “execute” the non-natives and to have a non-diverse system. The name “Ku Klux Klan”was formed by combining the greek…

was very close knit and I am so grateful for that. Every year we have the homecoming football game. Football is definitely the most respected sport at Tuckahoe. The night before the game we have a parade and bonfire. The atmosphere during this time makes me feel so at home. Getting ready for the parade you hear people's laughter…

my daily coffee. As i’m making my coffee, I hear the reporter say, “Currently I am at Dealey Plaza and the weather is beautiful. We’ve just gotten that word that the POTUS will be attending the parade in an open motorcade.” I heard this and my mind felt like a firework show on the Fourth of July. The parades are usually very fun, but with the president being there, it could get broadcasted on live television and I could be in it. Being that close to the president would be crazy and unimaginable.…

Finally, Irish Catholics in Toronto were not completely without support, since Quebec embraced Irish Catholic culture through the dominance of Catholic cultural ideology amongst the Francophone population. This type of political, social, and economic support defined one reason why the Catholic Irish in Toronto was alienated, yet not without some resources to countermand the sectarian oppression of the Orange Order: In time the appearance and plight of these faminites became a lens through which…

relationships with other women, and who parent children. In this journal, I will be looking at the question of normalcy and “homonormativity” in terms of the depoliticization, commercialization, and co-optation of queerness and LGBTQ activism, using the pride parade as an example. Gibson notes that queerness challenges presumed gender, familial, and sexual relations and norms in dominant culture (347). An overwhelming amount of research on LGBTQ parents focused on analyzing their effects on…

to go to the parade. This was awfully out of character for me, being a candy loving 5th grader. I was begging my mom to not go to the parade, but when I got to my grandma’s friend’s house in Bellevue I turned to my normal self, eager to collect suckers, tootsie rolls, and sweetarts from the people walking the parade. My brother and I fought over who would get the best candy from each other, as we always did. I was sitting next to my brother on the curb nearing the end of the parade, with a large…

multiple times in my life. The Freedom Festival lasts about 2 weeks ending with Fourth of July fireworks in downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa. During these two weeks the festival has at least 70 events, the two best known are the parade and the fireworks. I have been in the freedom festival parade just about four times driving an electric car from a program in my high school. The program is called Cougar Electric…
