Junction Of Hope Executive Summary

The first time I heard “Ar'nt I a Woman?” was freshman year of high school, during our annual African-American Heritage assembly. The crowd, always restless and inattentive, chattered and snapchatted away as the speech and presenter were announced. A lanky girl shuffled on stage, folding in on herself as she walked, arrived center stage, and began to speak. As she went on, her spine straightened, her murmurs turned to phrases enunciated so clearly her tongue seemed to be working three times as hard as a normal person’s. By the end of the speech, she had the undivided attention of the audience, all holding their breath because of how passionately and honestly she presented this glimpse into life as a black woman. Both Chapter 4 of A Shining Thread of Hope by Darlene Clark Hine and Kathleen Thompson, and Sojourner Truth’s “Ar'nt I a Woman?” speech serve the same general goal: showcasing the mistreatment of African American Women by society . While Truth’s speech is from her perspective, full of rage and frustration, A Shining thread gives her experiences important context. .

Throughout Arizona, many families go without food and are unable to feed themselves or their families. Nutritious food is vital for proper physical health and intellectual development. I believe that no one should go hungry or worry about how they will obtain their next meal. To resolve this tremendous problem, I would implement a community garden program across Arizona. This program would aim to provide every neighborhood in Arizona with a local garden that is accessible to the entire community. These community gardens would also include social events that would encourage unity within each neighborhood. In addition, dieticians would be on site to demonstrate how to make fruits and vegetables grown into healthy and balanced meals.

Hope is an essential psychological type of support, however, hoping for something unrealistic is referred as wasting time.

These newer studies have dug deeper and found more intrinsic views on the impact of the practices on social conflict and also the impact of legal norms. The newer studies also show something that the older study did not, the
