Staceyann Chin was an inspiration to watch and experience. I was hesitant to attend the show at all but I am happy I decided to go. Because I had no interest in going in the first place, I planned on leaving […]

One article I looked at in the journal “Sociology of Education” examined how racial bias intersected with school choice. They conducted a survey that asked white parents if they would send their children to the […]

I watched Taylor Swift’s performance at the Billboard awards and I was disappointed. I didn’t realize the similarities until I saw them side by side. Beyonce did her performance purposefully as an homage to HBCUs […]

For the class “Education in the Socio-Cultural context” we spent some time learning about modern segregation in American schools. One source we looked at was the 562nd episode of “This American Life” which looked […]

I think that the idea of more African-Americans in hockey would be amazing. While reading your post I thought about my own experiences and exactly why myself or the people around me aren’t more interested in h […]

I also read the article in the Player Tribue by Kyle Korver and also saw an interview with teammates talking about similar topics and to another incident regarding Russel Westbrook in Utah. For Korver, I feel like […]

This post is very interesting and thought provoking. I think this is a very big step for marvel and may be the time for a brighter future when it comes to actors of color. Once Marvel released Black Panther it was […]
