Carolina Panthers

screenings at Salem College. The film was The Black Panthers: Vanguard of a Revolution. After the film there was a discussion amongst the attendee’s. The screening was open to the public, but there was limited seating and not everyone that showed up got to stay. There was a variety in age, and race of those who showed up. There was more African American attendee’s than any others. I was a little anxious to see the documentary. I’ve heard about the Black Panther party, but the information I heard…

land west of the Mississippi in order for them to retreat the southern states. When the Indians failed to believe such offer, Jackson rounded up an army of 7,000 and ordered them to drive the Indian tribes westward.

By the end of the 1830s, the vast majority of all Indian tribes had ceded their land east of the…

North Carolina is truly a unique breed in terms of being a state. While North Carolina was one of the original thirteen colonies, a new state after the American Revolution, and a state in the antebellum south, it has always been unique in its political footing. From the beginning, North Carolina has tried to become the best version of itself, but as the old adage says, “the more things change the more they stay the same”. This is quite an appropriate quote to describe North Carolina. Writer…

However, in North Carolina, white farmers and journeymen, and black slaves practiced the art of barbecue. White…

The brothers began experimenting with the concept of flight in Dayton, Ohio at their bicycle shop in the mid-to-late 1890 's, and in 1902, they brought their glider to the continuously windy beach at Kitty Hawk in North Carolina. The glider made over 700 successful flights before adding power. The brothers built their own engine because no car engine could be powerful enough or light enough (Wright Brothers). The day their powered plane flew changed history and leads…

was to become an OBGYN. I participated in medical summer programs at Duke University, North Carolina Central University, and UNC-Chapel Hill. I was fascinated with it. Then I got to college and I learned of a world with limitless opportunities and I realized that side of healthcare was not my passion. The summer after my freshman and sophomore year I was able to intern with GNO Healthcare in North Carolina the first summer, and Los Angles the second summer. These opportunities opened my eyes to…

hallway! Everyone is running around asking for help, blaming each other and nothing still get done about the problem! Sounds like a bad sci-fi movie but this was the reality of the South Carolina school system documented in a film called, “Corridor of Shame.” The film is about rural area schools along 1-95 in South Carolina in 2005 but looks like schools on a slave planation. The film highlights overworked and grossly underpaid teachers and administrators as well as the plight of the children…
