A Tale of Our Judicial System
I like to believe we live in a country where one has the right to a fair trial with our judicial system. One in which justice is served when it’s a case involving a death. Over the years, there have been many high-profile cases that caused a big divide. These cases have been based…
Holiday Spirit (The Movie Edition)
I love the Christmas Holiday season, but the new movies start in October now, which is a little too early in my book. The funny thing is I still watch some of them early. In the last few years, there has been a more diverse selection that is more representative of the many cultures…
Our Duty to Tell Unpleasant History
I saw a CBS Morning story recently about an historical site. It’s the site where Emmett Till was murdered. It’s still standing, unbeknownst to many people living in the area since this time. Hearing this is one of the reasons why it’s important to continue educating ourselves. It’s important that this information is passed…

Good Ol’ Fashion Soul Food
We are officially in the last stretch of November that leads into the Thanksgiving Holiday. The holiday started as a peaceful gathering of two groups of people, the Native Americans and Pilgrims. Soon after, there was oppression soon for the Native Americans. As the years went on, African people were then forced into America…
Grateful for Education (Access to Learning)
It’s 8am, do you know what is going on around the world right now? Are you aware of the different people and places that make up this world? Do you know that not everyone in this world has access to proper schooling? Do you feel you had the best opportunity with your education? As…
