by Toni Henderson It’s as if MLK  marched for the the children of today just so we could be silenced and abused. Rosa Parks sat down and stood her ground just so we could get beaten with batons, and handcuffed while we all screamed, “I Can’t Breathe!” To the older generation, the events that are occurring today are nothing new, they’ve lived through the hatred and blatant disrespect American has to show towards African Americans.  In this country, cases like Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and as of recently Eric Garner, are just clear signs that America is still evolving. Being that we are the new generation, this comes as a shock to us – and to me, especially being that I am an African American in today’s generation.

by Janée Soto   Do you remember the Holocaust? I certainly don’t. I do however know the tragedies that have occurred, and the pain people endured. German cries can still be heard even in America if you simply listen. There are other very dangerous realities happening today in the world and America that many of us don’t stop to hear. Such as an Islamist rebel group that controls territory in Iraq and various other places, better known as ISIS.
