For this week’s photo share, I wanted to share a screen shot of the Stand N Rock music video by rapper Taboo. Since our class discussion was based on Standing Rock, I wanted to research further about it since I did not know much about it. I found this music video and thought the lyrics we’re very…[Read more]

This week we spoke about a few female movements. I wanted to share this picture of Alicia Keys during the 2017 Women’s March in Washington D.C. Before singing her hit song Girl on Fire, she gave an empowering speech thanking all women for being courageous in standing up against their rights. One of the things she said in her speech stood out to me…[Read more]

This week I wanted to share the story of Cyntoia Brown, a sex trafficking victim, who was sentenced life in prison for killing the child predator that she was sold to. Instead of being seen as the victim, she was sentenced to life in prison for murder in comparison to actual sex…[Read more]

This picture was taken at UC Berkeley during the 1990’s in the midst of a protest for the creation of a Department of ethnic Studies. I chose this picture not only to share with the class but also for my own understanding. I have never paid attention to the Ethnic Studies…[Read more]

For this week’s photo share, I wanted to share an image that’s taken from Joyner Lucas’ music video I’m Not Racist. This video had many different topics that each subject talked about but the overall message was that there are two sides to every story but we won’t know until we ask. There…[Read more]

This image shows that those fighting for their rights are being silenced. These activists are seen as threats much like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin. Not only activists are being silenced but a lot of the black community feel as if they do not…[Read more]

For this weeks photo share, I want to share a quote from James Baldwin: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” I thought this went really well with what he said in the documentary that we saw in class about not being an issue about race but rather an issue of taking responsibility for your life…[Read more]

I would like to share an image with the words “Silence = Violence” because I feel like this is an interpretation to what Martin Luther King Jr. said in Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence. In this speech, MLK spoke the famous words, “A time comes when silence is betrayal.” During class we discussed what we thought this meant and this is my…[Read more]
