The Clarks

time where everyone seems to have advice to offer, whether that is advice on how to end singlehood, or advice on how you don’t need a significant other anyway. Emotions become confusing and overwhelming quickly, and in Struggling through Singleness, Clark uses the Bible to help singles embrace the blessing, and be educated on what God has to say about couples and singles. Clark’s opening point is that of the gift of singleness. Whether it is actually a spiritual gift or not, is largely up to…

town’s people did not want to be accused of being witches themselves. One of the judges looked out into the crowd and yelled for everyone to quiet down. The other judge announced that the trial was beginning. The first person put on trial was Goody Clark. She was a quiet young women who lived next to the grocery store in town. She did not interact with the town’s people very often, which is one of the reasons why so many people were suspicious of her. She stood there silently mouthing…

Yuri Kochiyama was a civil rights activist whose photograph famously appeared in Life magazine showing her cradling the head of Malcom X moments after he was shot.

Among her many accomplishments over 50 years, her activism led directly to the…

This past summer, I attended John Hopkins’ Intensive studies program. CTY was 3 weeks long and had kids ranging from 12 years old to 16 years old. The first week exhausted everyone. Each person had back to back classes and the non-stop extracurricular activities. However, the camp was still characterized by its abundance of merriment. During those three weeks, I had a roommate, Dani, who came to the program from France. Our friendship came about instantly. Her birthday was the last day of camp,…

organizations have serious character flaws, are charlatans or outright thieves. Sometimes Black people’s “leadership and organizations” can be our worst enemy. As you know, I experienced the dangerous character flawed and charlatan behavior from Hugh Clark when he forcibly impregnated my girlfriend Norma (we went to each other’s Junior and Senior Proms-1969/1970), gave me Regina (who had psychological issues), and sent three men to attack me (outside of my job at Colonial Penn Insurance…

Jackson, Mississippi during the mid twentieth century was highly segregated. Most black women were maids for white families. They were paid to polish silver, wash clothes, and practically raise white children. The Help shows the life of Aibileen Clark and other African American maids who did exactly that in 1962. Aibileen’s life was drastically different than the lives of the people she worked for simply due to the color of her skin. As the story develops, a clearer picture is painted of just…

*brrrrrrzt* The bell rang, signalling the beginning of class. I was late, again. My class was on the whole other side of the school and I had yet to go to my locker and get my books. Oh, I was so screwed. I guess it's not really my fault, though. It wasn't me who had insisted on stopping at Starbucks which was on THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN before school. 'Thanks, Marce. I appreciate it.' I thought to myself. I sprinted down the hallways, glad that no one was there at the moment to prevent me from…
