What is there to do on a boring summer day? Being a teenager in Northwest Arkansas may not have that many options, but for me, I have the University of Arkansas’ recreational center. Many diverse people from all around the world join together to play different sporting activities. Every time I have the pleasure of going to the HPER, for any reason, it is always an enjoyable experience. All elements of the HPER, the people, the activities and the overall experience are like no other. The best…

The question as to whom should be educated? Originally there were many groups excluded from higher education. Education was dominated by rich men excluding women and poor people. However, more and more of the universities are becoming international, interdenominational places. There is no discrimination of sex, race or religion on most campus. In light of campuses becoming more exclusive to people with disabilities we can see that it is becoming more of an inclusive university system. So…

Choices in Little Rock “Two, four, six, eight, we ain’t gonna integrate!” Screamed the mob surrounding the high school. Integration at Central High School in Little Rock Arkansas with the group known as, the Little Rock Nine, sparked many emotions and opinions out of people.

Continuing this trend, the analysis on her personal life and more so the in-depth analysis on her contributions to the movement especially her involvement in the NAACP make this source a strong contribution.

Personally, I can’t think of many…
