The moon was full, but the sky was cloudy, and so it was nearly too dark to see as Ivan made his way across the field. This far away, from the trenches and his fellows, no one would see him partake of his last roll of tobacco. It was a precious commodity, a treasure that the others would harass him for until he gave in and let everyone have a taste.

It was his last cigarette, the last one he might ever get, and so Ivan intended to savor every last acrid kiss.…

The movie portrays some in a positive way and others in a negative way, but overall the movie Inherit the Wind get its point across about the Scopes Trial while being extremely inaccurate.…

In Na’im Akbar’s book “Breaking the Chains of Psychological Slaves”; I was intrigued by many factors. The primary factor stems from the fact that I recently preach a sermon on the psychological state of African American people.

Born Clay Marcellus Clay Jr., Muhammad Ali was born on January 17, 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky, a time when blacks were still the servant class. While the Constitution of the United States declares, "All men are created equal with certain unalienable rights," many minority groups still suffered against racial equality.
