Way of St. James

As a fugitive slave, Harriet Tubman had been clever and wise enough to find a way to freedom, not only that she conducted groups of other slaves out. Harriet used the underground railroad to lead the slaves to safety and in efficient time. She had different routes to take in case anything major happened on the way. No matter what route she took she always picked up slaves to take along. Harriet managed to free 800 slaves in one day. It’s amazing to look back at her achievement on how she freed…

Why not one of the many other versions? To understand we need to look at the history of the English Bible. The King James Bible is the seventh of the English translations. Seven is a sign of completion, of perfection. The first of the major translations was John Wycliffe and his Wycliffe Bible in 1384.…

Case Studies Case 1: During my visit to St. John 's Episcopal Cemetery in Valle Crucis, NC, I came across an interesting example of a laser etched image on Charles Dotson 's gravestone. Etched on Charles 's stone was an image of the USS San Diego along with the inscriptions "WWII," "Bronze Star Recipient," and "Brother Our Hero." Initially, I could figure that Charles was a member of the crew of the USS San Diego during his life, and that time was a defining factor of his personal identity.…

The Spanish Reconquista The history of Spain is a tale of both the blending and the clashing of cultures. When Muslims, Jews, and Christians could maintain peace, Spanish culture would exceed that of all the rest of Europe. When persecution and strife broke out, wars that amounted to crusades were the result. Ultimately Spain was united as a nation under triumphant Christian monarchs whose exploits went beyond anything medieval Europeans could even imagine. The result was the foundation of…

Freedom Freedom is a word that can be defined in many ways to different minds, but in literary terms freedom means “the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved”. Two great poets by the name of Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes wrote two extraordinary poems called “I know why the caged bird sings” and “Democracy”. These two poems open your eye to the word freedom. I choose these two poems because, me personally being of Haitian decent I see how my people are treated and thought of. We think we…
