Bayezid I- (r.1389-1402) Ottoman ruler who started to besiege Constantinople in 1395.

Another reason that my first interview was so memorable is because besides doing a bad job in the interview‚ I got the job. At the end of my interview‚ I was given a schedule

Attention Step: How many people have heard of the argument that students should be paid for playing sports in college? -So most people have.

“I was really white and because a cruel fairy stepmother‚ who was understandably jealous of my beauty‚ had turned me into a too-big Negro girl‚ with nappy black hair‚ broad feet and a space between her teeth that would hold a number-two pencil” (Angelou 2-3). This quote from Maya Angelou’s memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings acts as an example of how racism had already made its way into Maya Angelou’s life‚ despite her being such a young age.
