The photo I chose for this week that corresponds to the #NODAPL movement shows a banner that depicts the words ” WE ARE WATER.” I believe these words are important to highlight that water is an integral part of the native’s lives and it is a key component in their spiritual and physical well being. By implementing the Dakota Access Pipeline, the…[Read more]

This week in class we got to educate ourselves more on the #MeToo movement and what it means for women. The photo I chose depicts three different women holding signs that say #MeToo, and the reason I chose this photo is because the three women are all of differing skin color. I believe this to be an important detail because it entails that the…[Read more]

This week in class we discussed the #BlackLivesMatter movement and its emphasis on our current political and social society at the moment. The reason I chose this photo for this week’s discussion is because I want to highlight the ways in which the #ALLLIVESMATTER movement is hypocritical in juxtaposition to the #BLACKLIVESMATTER movement.

The discussions we had in class this week highlighted the inequalities that people of color often face in education and their underrepresentation in positions of academic scholarship. I want to emphasize the fact that these inequalities were not…[Read more]

But what many don’t understand is that many hip hop artists use their platform as a way to address social problems and bring light to inequalities that exist in the world. F…[Read more]

This week I would like to share this photo of Kathleen Cleaver, the first woman to join the Black Panther’s decision making cabinet. I chose to highlight her activism because often times when we study the Black Panther Party we overlook the women that were apart of it, and this week we emphasized just how integral the Party was to the enhancement…[Read more]

The picture I have chosen displays multiple African American soldiers deployed as airmen during World War II. I chose this photo because it holds a deeper meaning in that these airmen were not only fighting for their supposed “country” but they were also fighting for the respect and equality they deserved. This week we focused on Malcolm X, who…[Read more]

The photo I have chosen for this week is a poster created by a Penn State student for their Martin Luther King Jr. Day Commemoration. The photo depicts a bright red face with wide open eyes with a hand covering the figure’s mouth in which the hand utters MLK Jr’s quote “When Silence Becomes Betrayal.” Originally, the famous quote was delivered in…[Read more]
