For this week’s photo share, I share one of the more recent songs, “This is America” by Childish Gambino. In the lines “This is America. Don’t catch you slippin’ up. Look at how I’m livin’ now. Police be trippin’ now”, it shows that black folks living in America are always feeling like they are not safe regardless of being at home or out and…[Read more]

This week’s topic for the photo share is segregation. And the perfect person to convey this topic is Rosa Parks. During the time of 1955, the Jim Crow laws were in place.
