This song is called If I Ruled the World. I only recently found this song but I found it jarring because of its lyrics. Usually when I listen to music, I pay less attention to the deeper meanings behind the song and focus more on the rhythm and vibe. However, since I knew what to look for in this song, I really felt it. The lyrics coalesces with…[Read more]

I’ll decided to connect this image of the 116th congress to our topic of white space. As this country transitions from a historically white space to one that is more ethnically diverse, the change can be seen among people who represents us as in a photo of the 116th congress. Not only were people with other backgrounds elected to office, like…[Read more]

I found a cartoon that illustrates how the United States have treated Native Americans historically. The content of the cartoon itself shows a news reporter, which represents the whole country, solely interviewing a man, presumably American, and asking him why he doesn’t want national monuments. It is important to take note that the interviewer…[Read more]

This image shows data released by the FBI on people killed by the police by race. Here, it shows that although 13% of the U.S. population is black, 31% of people that are killed by the police are black. Take note that these statistics are from 2012 and not data from decades ago. This revelation that the police have killed a disproportionate amount…[Read more]

This picture is of a classroom of an Afrocentric school. An Afrocentric school is a school that focuses on black culture in learning. These schools, which are staffed prominently by people of color, are an alternative to school integration. Schools, such as those in New York, have gradually become increasingly segregated; and while black parents…[Read more]

For this week’s segregation theme, I choose a picture of a black women and presumably with her child who holds a newspaper. The top headline of the newspaper, High Court Bans Segregation in Public Schools is as important as the photo itself. The verdict of Brown versus Board of Education is an important event in U.S. history, desegregating a…[Read more]

These images was chosen from Us News’ education website. The school data depicted in the images are George Washington High School (GWHS) and Mission High School (MHS) in San Francisco, California, the former which I had attended. Although both schools were in the same school district, the demographics were drastically different. My high school…[Read more]

The attached photo is a portrait of former president, Barack Obama, the first black president of the United States. Barack Obama’s presidency represents generations of suffrage and activism from the fourteen amendment to the civil rights movement; and to this current day. Reflecting on Barack Obama’s Presidential victory, I would say that I …[Read more]
