    The similarities between the Haitian and Spanish American Revolutions is that they were started by creoles and neither in the beginning supported abolishment of slavery. Both revolutions were heavily influenced by the Enlightenment ideas. Creole came up with the new ideas from the Enlightenment, such as ideas of human rights and justice. The Haitian Revolution and the Spanish American Revolutions were due to social inequalities. Each declared independence as a result, and later they both had a break down in economic status, due to lack of labor.…

    In Leif Jensen’s article, “Ethnic Identities, Language, and Economic Outcomes among Dominicans in a New Destination,” Jensen observes Dominican immigrants, who migrated to Reading, Pennsylvania from the Dominican Republic, and how they identify themselves in America. He and his fellow researchers start their observations by giving some of the Dominicans, in Reading, surveys about their homes, health, stress, migration history, and other things. They find that 7.6 percent of Reading’s population is Hispanic, which is double Harrisburg’s percentage (Harrisburg is the community with the next closest percentage of Hispanics). They also used open-ended questions concerning race to give the respondents the opportunity to indicate how they classify…

    While surfing social media, whether regularly or irregularly, one most likely stumbles across a picture with the text “Like this picture to support Haiti” or “Show you care about (insert cause here) by liking and sharing this picture with all of your friends.” On the surface, these types of images seem harmless and actually beneficial. People gain the mindset that if they provide support for the icon in the form of “likes,” then they directly help those that the image shows the cause for. The producer of the photo however believes that this type of mindset causes deeper problems than what the social media poster actually intends. People stop volunteering and start liking pictures on social media to show what they call “solidarity” with those…

    I am currently a senior Political Science major, History minor, with a concentration in International Relations. I am also the chairman of the Howard University NAACP Political Action Committee. I am an academic, I am a student leader, but more importantly, I am a servant. It is my firm belief that the reason I was blessed to be given the opportunity to get a college education is so that I can use this privilege and knowledge to help others. Just recently in December I was fortunate enough to go on a service trip to South Africa with the YAALI program. There we did community service and connected with our brothers and sisters on the continent. This was a very impressionable experience for me, especially because it was my first time leaving…

    The Haitians that chose to remain in the Dominican Republic, now undocumented and stateless, are unable to receive governmental benefits and thus require the United Nation to take action in order to protect their natural rights. People naturalized in a state are generally known as citizen however the Dominican Republic Constitutional Court have voided terms and now renders a lot of Haitians descents, living in DR, stateless. Statelessness is an issue since it strips people nationality and leaves them undocumented and unrecorded making them prone to getting their basic right violated.

    Haiti and the Dominican Republic are vastly different counties that have unique systems of classification of race, ethnicity, and governmental structures. The history of the countries of Haiti and The Dominican Republic shape how these countries classify race. To comprehend the demographical differences in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, we need to analyze how historical contexts shape the structures of those countries today. The racial data collected by Haitian and Dominican Republican citizens is based on the socially constructed idea of race, not the biological theory of race. Dark skinned citizens are the minority groups while lighter skinned citizens are considered the elitist's groups.…
