Sit Down

On February 7, 2018, at 5:30 p.m., I attended the meeting that I had scheduled with Magdala. At the meeting, I read off my pages of notes that I had constructed about Laundry View and the benefits that it can bring to students if such a portal became accessible on the WSSU website. I also showed her the picture and the video of the Wash Alert system that UNCG has, to give a visual on how Laundry View would look and how it works. Magdala then proceeded to go to the Laundry View website and tried…

The research I propose on doing is on the beginning of the 1960’s Sit-Ins and the outcome of this non-violent movement leading to the creation of SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee).

Our great nation, from its very founding, has been one of the greatest tests of mankind’s will and resolve in all of human history. This grand experiment has been that of democracy in a world that has been prone to giving up freedoms in the face of strong men who promise greatness. Throughout our history as a nation, our commitment to democracy has been tested again and again. War, strife, polarization, and depression have divided us as a nation and forced us to reckon with what it means to be…

When one is in highschool it is essential that they focus on subjects they will use in their future careers. By having so many requirements regarding mandatory classes, students are often held back from taking classes that interest them and not having enough space to focus on subjects that matter to them. I will use civil disobedience to stop this. I plan on protesting taking all required classes. Some classes should be required, but only to be taken once. Otherwise if a student is certain that…

To get a more in-depth perspective we interviewed John Griffin who is the() to get a better understanding of how the business functions. One of the Fan’s biggest strengths comes from its affiliation with ESPN. This association gives the Fan a national presence to stand above its competitors.

Most people think that, overall, sports are a good activity for most children. Taking part in sports has many benefits that help a child to grow and become a good citizen. However, there are some sports which are not so good in other ways. That is because they impact and affect the environment in a negative way. Because of their negative effects on the environment, these sports teach children things that they should not learn such as how to pollute and violent behavior. Children should not be…

movement; so many people were apathetic or opposed to the cause for they had never considered what life in the U.S was like for an African American. A middle class white woman in Alabama never had the reason to wonder what it felt like to be forced to sit in the back of a bus or to send her children to lesser funded schools. Bloody Sunday, a heartbreaking event where six hundred peaceful African American protesters were brutally beaten by the local Selma police, tore bystanders and those…
