He loved the community and music that was formed from the concepts of Christianity and it was no wonder that when he graduated in 1938 from the Magnolia Avenue High School in Vicksburg, Mississippi; that he chose a double major of Religion and Music. Smith immediately enrolled in college after he graduated high school and attended Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State College from 1938 to 1940 but in 1941; he moved to Georgia where he attended and graduated from Morehouse College in Atlanta in 1942 with a double major in music and religion.

In a small town named Switzerfield there was a little boy named John Parker Lyons. Over the years of hard work, and stress John grew very goofy. At first, everyone at his school thought it was funny and just a joke. Once at his school concert while everybody was gathering there things and leaving he was dancing. He was prancing around on stage not looking where he was going when he fell off the stage onto the ice-cream seller. Everyone just laughed at him. Nothing was the same for him.

He installed a policy of rigid discipline, strengthened defenses, and encouraged farming with his order that all must work or face starvation. Smith had settlers dig the first well inside the fort (and Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists have found that well and the many unique artifacts it held when it became a trash pit). Smith ordered the repair of many buildings and the expansion of the fort into a five-sided structure, which archaeologists have also traced. Smith also led the first English explorations of the Chesapeake Bay and was almost killed by a ray on the first of the two expeditions. Smith’s strong leadership helped the colony survive and grow but also made him enemies within the fort. When he was sleeping in a boat in the river on night, Smith was badly injured from a gunpowder explosion. Smith went back to England to get treated in October 1609 and he never made it back to

Racial Bias and Automatic Response in the Misidentification of WeaponsOn March 18th, 2018 Sacramento police officers shot and killed 22-year-old Stephon Clark in the backyard of his grandmother’s house after mistaking his cellphone for a gun. The fatal shooting of Stephon Clark is just one of many incidences where unarmed black men have fallen victim to implicit racial biases. When police officers are pressured to make split second decisions their unconscious biases toward black men becomes present and influences their judgement against black men whom they suspect to be armed with guns but are in fact unarmed. With today’s technological advancements and the media’s ability to reach a large population of people there is greater awareness of

Jamar clark African American, 24 years old was shot by the minneapolis police on november 15 2015. Two officers were involved Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze, protestants of black life matters and other institutions that support civil rights are unsatisfied because no charges were pressed against the two officer.

Mother always said that watching TV or playing videogames is bad for you and will kill brain cells, but Steven Johnson disagrees. Johnson has composed a theory that watching certain types of TV shows can actually increase a person's cognitive ability. He coined the term "The Sleeper Curve," and with this, he claims that even the most violent or juvenile dramas can be "nutritional." After reading his arguments, I can say I agree with him completely. However, I believe Johnson should have touched more on videogames as well. Videogames stimulate a person's mind more than watching TV.

This nickname would later become part of the title of his hit television show. However, Smith actually got his start in the entertainment business not through acting, but instead by rapping. While
