Vintage Teenage Fashion 1910s-1950s The term “teenager” wasn’t widely used until the 1940s.

Ruby Bridges Ruby Bridges has always been a civil rights advocate, with her experience as the first Black child to enter an all-white school in the South making her a household name. Though her experience in school was harrowing due to blatant racism and the targeting of her family, Bridges never missed a day of school. Presently, the Ruby Bridges Foundation and Bridges herself continue to host speaking engagements and write children’s books to strive for an end to racism in America.

Mass protest as Minneapolis rocked by fatal police arrest But the video that emerged hours later told a drastically different story.

The video, captured by a passer-by, went viral on social media. It gives the public a chance to play judge and jury in cases that could get swept under the carpet.

For many other people – like myself – it is a reminder that the segregation and division of races is still in place today. Black History Month orginated as “Negro History Week” in 1926, a time when it was arguably absolutly necessary to define and recognize the accomplishment of African-Americans when others that did their most to supress them. Is “black” history not American history? One of the ways chosen to celebrate Black History Month here on campus has been to dedicate a wall in Trexler to the fact that “Black Girls Rock.” This may make many people angry, but I view black men and women as human beings – no less or no more important that anyone else. In no way is this meant to diminish the accomplishments and greatness of those people celebrated during Black History Month, but rather to promote the ideals of unity within all racial groups.
