“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” a cry to the world to send the people most in need of liberty, the wretched, and the homeless to America. This quote comes from the 1883 sonnet, New Colossus, by Emma Lazarus and is engraved on a plaque affixed to America’s most famous symbol and landmark, the Statue of Liberty. While American Literature predates Lazarus by a few centuries, her sonnet along with Thomas Jefferson’s contribution in 1776 in the Declaration of Independence help define what makes certain literature American. Clearly expressing the beliefs of the colonist, Thomas Jefferson, an immigrant, penned to the world the purpose of what America stood for, the preservation of individual God-given

Caesar Rodney, the first of the delegation from Delaware, was a native of that state, and was born about the year 1730. His birth-place was Dover. The family, from which he was descended, was of ancient date, and is honorably spoken of in the history of early times. We read of Sir Walter De Rodeney, of Sir George De Rodeney, and Sir Henry De Rodeney, with several others of the same name, even earlier than the year 1234. Sir Richard De Rodeney accompanied the gallant Richard Coeur de Lion in his crusade to the Holy Land, where he fell, while fighting at the siege of Acre.

The East coast originally known as the thirteen colonies, but what did it take to settle the East coast and later on America? Great Britain wanted to take the new land by storm and the king was determined to make money off of the lands natural resources. Unfortunately the geography of the land made it hard to settle Charles Town, its many rivers, rigid mountains, and thick swamps made it nearly impossible to explore this land. This land was described as “flat and woody” making it easy to get lost but That wasn't enough to stop explorers from coming and taking over South Carolina, there first settlement was in Charles Town, the land they had first set foot on. Then they built their first colonies where they would face more problems and make new enemies.

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of 1837, the first higher education institution for African Americans was founded on February 25th given the name Institute for Colored Youth (originally the African Institute). After changing its name again to Cheyney University of Pennsylvania and moving to Delaware County, Pennsylvania, it continues as the oldest predominantly African American school of higher learning. The institute was founded by Richard Humphreys, a Quaker philanthropist who donated 10,000 dollars to establish a school that would educate young African American male and females the skills needed to become more competitive in the job market (Conyers, 1990). The school taught basic subjects such as math, reading and writing, as well as agriculture and mechanics. Humphreys envisioned the institute to train people of color to become teachers who would further instruct more young men and

At Brewton-Parker College, the campuses community is quite small. I cannot decide if it is a good thing that everyone knows each other. Because the school’s population is not quite as high as a big university, everyone knows everyone’s business. No matter what someone does, good or bad, it gets out, but for me the size in beneficial. The less people there are, the less chance I have of getting distracted. I love how small the classes are, too, because my teachers actually knows who I am. Also, when I need help with what we’re learning or I just have a simple question, I can easily ask my teacher, and he or she can help me better understand what is going on. The teachers here, at Brewton-Parker College, are kind and beyond willing to help me, no matter how long it takes; help is always there when I need it. For instance, the library has become my best friend. I like how I can go and have my own table to get a good amount of work done, and the books are such a useful resource for

When North East Ohio Medical University sponsored a student led project, BetheBeautifulU was formed. Our campaign’s goal is to expose social media’s negative effect on teenage self-esteem due to its focus on Eurocentric standards of beauty. BetheBeautifulU’s purpose was to confront Cleveland's high school issues with self-esteem hidden within high school culture. We came up with numerous topics, like body positivity, but the one that was deeply anchored in our school was colorism. Colorism in Cleveland school districts and the media perpetuates the idea that lighter skinned people are more beautiful and most accepted compared to dark skin people. During our seminar to promote BetheBeautifulU, we asked

Becoming a graduate student at Berry College will do more than just provide a Master’s degree; it will be an opportunity to develop my personal and professional aspirations. There is no other graduate program that has impressed me more than Berry College’s dedication to academic excellence, culture, and core values.

The Catholic church is one of the best known religions today. Yet it was not like this before in the olden times. The Church was not reaching out into the outer peripheries. Many people in general did not know what Catholicism was. They were misguided by the pagan priests who taught them false teachings of tree-rock-sun worship. Every time the Church would attempt to evangalize these countries they would be thrown out or the evangalizers would be killed in barbaric ways. Yet 1 man stood out and managed to succesfully evangalize most of Prague and Poland. That mans name was St. Adalbert.

I grew up in Cary and Barrington Illinois. During the summers, my family would stay at my Cary house because it was located on the Fox River. This left me when very fun memories of being with my family. Since the house I lived in was located on a river I basically lived in the water. However, the idea of going on the boat always put a smile on my face. While on the boat, we would go tubing and wakeboarding etc. This is what fueled my love of living on a river. During the winter we would live at my barrington house because we had a big yard and we could sled in it. Overall, where I grew up really got me to love being outside.

Although this award varies in who a person thinks is deserving, depending on their personal experiences and encounters, I find that Ted Colyer is worthy of an award for leading one of the most interesting lives I've had the honor of being a part of. As a watercolour artist, I find that his dedication to his art, the places he's been, and those he has as company make him deserving of such an accolade.
