This weekend, I was able to go see a UCSD Production of a play titled EVERYBODY BLACKĀ by Dave Harris. This play is about a Black Historian who was commissioned to write all about black history to be sent to space. Ignorance getting the best of the Historian, she tells stories of the stereotypical understandings of Black history and their lives…[Read more]

I chose this image for Week 8’s photo share on white space because it emphasizes the twisted mindset and enormous amount of ignorance many white adults in the United States have. I originally was going to post an image of a playground with many anti-Semitic chalk drawings including swastikas and the phrase “Hail Hitler” in a New York City…[Read more]

In late 2016, the National Park Service (NPS) newly allowed Native Americans to engage in what seemed to be a highly prohibited activity in National Parks. Members of Native American Tribes would be able to remove vegetation and plants from the National Parks that were once part of their land. This new rule was created as NPS finally recognized…[Read more]

I found this distributing image earlier this week and it had me in shock. This is an image of Tallahassee Police arresting a man who was suspected of Theft, however, the arrested man’s two year old daughter walks toward the officer and her father with her hands up. This was extremely heart breaking and distributing to witness as the innocence of…[Read more]

This morning as I was scrolling through Youtube, I found a video titled “A School to Nurture LA’s Homeless Youth”. With this intriguing title, I immediately clicked on the seven minute long video about a school for low income and homeless youth living in Los Angeles. Crete Academy, a charter school located on Crenshaw Boulevard, was created by…[Read more]

In discussing segregation as well as the social impacts of this segregation, the Baldwin piece, “Letter from a Region of my Mind” aided my understanding of black history in America. I believed the picture below showed a clear indication of exactly what Baldwin discusses in this piece. Baldwin makes it a point that the black community does not…[Read more]

This week discussing Segregation, it reminded me of the many physical and imaginary boundaries placed in cities to segregate communities and the lasting psychological and cultural impacts they made. One example is the Detroit Wall, or also known as the 8 Mile Wall. When large populations of African Americans and Blacks began to migrate and move…[Read more]

After the discussion on Race and Space these past two weeks in class, I remember the extremely racial injustices that happened here at UCSD. In 2010, a couple of UCSD’s fraternities, mainly the fraternity of Pi Kappa Alpha (PIKE), hosted a racially targeted party in celebration of Black History Month. Guests were instructed to wear clothing…[Read more]
