Born from the dynamic political climate of the United States in the 1960s, the Black Panther Party developed within a very particular historical moment– one framed by the failures of the Civil Rights Movement, strong anti-imperialist sentiment galvanized by the ongoing war in Vietnam, the frustration and anger felt by disenfranchised black urban communities across the nation, and the upsurge of militant demands for self-determination in the face of pervasive structural racism.

Walking out of Fry’s, I could only imagine how hot my car would be since it was nearly 110° outside. As I walked to the car I remember being inside the store for only twenty minutes, but that was enough time for the inside of the car to begin heating up like an oven.

As expected, I entered my car and I remember regretting…
Being able to learn is an essential part of doing something new, and being good at it. Willingness is also a big part of participating in a new job.
