1. Describe the development of black schools in the south after the Civil War? Black people saw educations as a way of self emancipation. Slaves knew the importance of having a education, some of them took the risk of going to secret school, where they were able to learn how to read and write. Black decided to set up their own schools at their own expenses. With the help of free black men, white yankee missionaries, and school teachers the first schools were established in the South. The inspector of the Freedmen’s Bureau when to the South and found around 500 native schools. Black parents and southtreen residents took control of the schools’ system. Using their money to pay for the schools’ expenses.

I grew up in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, living most of my life on the country side with my Mom. My father was not in the picture, as he abandoned the house when I was very young.

My father is from jerez zacatecas and my mother is from huajuapan de leon. My parents came here to have a better life and then they met each other and had 3 girls. My sister are proud of where we grew up. Growing up in san bernardino california has taught me a lot for example it has tough me to fight for what I believe in. also that fear shouldn't

I was born and raised in Colombia, a South American country surrounded by a huge diversity of cultures united by one language, the Spanish. However, since I was 1 year old I traveled to the United States every summer and sometimes Christmas for vacation, family and parent’s business.

One of the largest Hispanic-origin population in the United states are Mexicans (Gonzales-Barrera & Lopez, 2013). Mexican American’s are considered minorities in the United States. There are many reason why I am choosing to explore Mexican Americans for this paper. As a minority myself, I can relate to some of the struggles that Mexican American’s may face. However, there are some things that I will never relate to or know the personal aspect of the Mexican culture. Just like any other population, Mexican Americans have their own culture, values, and challenges.

The Latino has had impact on every aspect of American society. The Latino culture is becoming popular everyday with popularity of Latin American food and music and media to name a few. The business is recognizing the potential Latino community as its consumer base. latinos are playing an important role in the outcome of elections. Politicians increasingly recognize the political importance of the Latino population. Policymakers are trying to gather knowledge about the Latino population to understand and serve the needs of Latino populations. Latinos now are not restricted to a particular geographical location and are expanding to remote locations.

It seems like just yesterday Mom was telling me to pack my bags. We were living in a small farming town just outside Catarina, Mexico. Times were really tough and Dad had lost his job. My family knew of people moving to the United States for work, but my family never considered it. Our entire family resides in Mexico; the thought of moving was unbearable.

The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities has done so many amazing things for the Hispanic population and higher education that it has encouraged me to take part and give back in any way that I possible. The conference will give me the opportunity to develop myself both professionally and personally with many experts in their fields and share ideas. To be able to congregate with intelligent individuals from backgrounds just like mine and discussing the opportunities and advancement for the Hispanic community sounds absolutely incredible and an opportunity not to be missed.

As of 2014, the Latino community has become the largest minority group in the United States, making up around 17% (roughly 55 Million) of the population alone (CNN News). However, due to the lack of news and media coverage that Hispanics/Latinos receive, people are uninformed about the community. The small portion of the media that does talk about the Latino community often has false information that tends to leave a negative impression of Latinos. By informing Americans about Latinos, they will get an idea of what 17% of the county is actually made of. Even though some people believe that there is enough media coverage in the Latino community, there should be more positive media coverage for the Latino community. Americans need to know about what is actually happening in the Latino community, because Latinos are the largest minority group in the U.S, Latinos have a strong work ethic, and the Latino community has made a major impact of the American culture.

As mentioned before I was born in Caracas, Venezuela. Aside from traveling abroad on family vacations, I 've had the opportunity to be exposed to several cultures throughout my life. I lived in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, for 6 years due to my father 's work;

My artistic goal is to give one hundred percent to whatever visual I feel is communicating something words wouldn’t have said any better. Aiming to increase the dynamic between audience and creator, by objectifying emotions and investigating the duality that develops through different interpretations. My skillset allows me to work in a variety of mediums, yet my favorite is pastel because it’s so swift and feels like an extension of my fingers, not to mention the vibrant colors translated through a tiny bit of chalk. My work has been influenced by loss of security, the black experience, my southern identity, and personal epiphanies. With Plato’s allegory of the cave in mind, my works can be seen as self-portraits; sometimes they appear idiosyncratic

George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ was written in the format of a fable, it was written as a political book to show the difficult ideas about power and government, it is not his first political book as he wrote ‘1984’ as an ominous threat for a totalitarianism society (spark notes, 2014) in which the government controls everything in our lives (spark notes, 2014), but it is not a fable. Traditionally fables are usually short stories that contain a moral and teach children lessons (Alchin L, 2014), usually they are written aimed towards children as the characters are usually animals that are given human characteristics with the ability to talk and still have their animal features (Alchin L, 2014). In ‘Animal Farm’ the majority of the characters

In this world we can find roughly seven billion people. Sure, science may prove that people share similar traits and personalities, but no two people are exactly the same. We all have different life experiences. With these different occurrences we can infer that we all have different levels of privilege.
