This transformation, though, affected multiple aspects of de Vaca, including his motives, character, and perspective of civilization. Cabeza de Vaca’s experience is crucial to the history of America, as well as Spain, because it was one of the first accounts that revealed a certain

There are many known conspiracies and various rumors about Cibola, “the City of Gold,” which was believed to be real, but in reality, Cibola never existed.

was born in Salamanca, Spain in 1510. His army had included Europeans and enslaved Africans. He was looking for the riches of the Seven Cities of Cibola, he was following the footsteps of a man by the name of, Estevanico. Estevanico was also looking for the Seven Cities of Cibola, Estevanico was a scout for Marcos de Niza. It was rumored that it was filled with gold and silver.

After my speech, insha’Allah, I anticipate that you will leave with more knowledge and gratitude for the Muslims before us, our unsung heroes.

Past slaveholding families have shaped their inheritances on the foundation and produced wealth that African-Americans have not been apprised of because

If Jesus is superior and anyone who does not worship him is inferior, how can the world get along? Cross-cultural dialogue has been difficult to sustain over time because Christian monarchs, military men and other officials from Europe have maintained hegemony based on faulty notions of piety and the ethnocentric subjugation of religious minorities not conducive to diplomacy between Christians and non-Christians. Yet, some Europeans broke away from their ignorant leadership by learning more about
