Our trip to Texas Southern was overall very interesting. We briefly visited with Dr. Thomas Freeman and learned about his long‚ incredible life‚ but before that‚ we walked some of the halls containing mural after mural. Many are elaborate paintings of various elements of the black lives matter movement. Others‚ like the police brutality mural‚ have connotations to today’s world and the injustices African American people face on a day to day basis. The mural that caught my eye‚ though‚ was the

I was born in a country where basketball was not so popular. It was mostly for the rich people‚ because they were the ones that could afford paying lots of money to the coach‚ and the team to be able to play and learn the game. Since there wasn’t too many basketball coaches in Iran‚ we didn’t have many basketball teams for different age groups. Out of all of my friends I had in Iran for the 11 years I lived there‚ only one of them played basketball in a league. He wasn’t even playing for his own

The United States Constitution was ratified in 1787 to make a stronger and better central government. Although it was hard to get it ratified‚ especially in the southern states‚ it was meant to keep the country together and to be the extreme law of the land.
