    Sending letters directly between the Dominican Republic and Haiti has only recently become possible. For most of the last sixty years, their postal services routed the mail ninety miles north to Miami as if the two countries had decided that they no longer shared the island of Hispaniola. This is absurd at best; a flight between their capital cities, Santo Domingo and Port-au-Prince, takes only half an hour. Deep in the Cordillera Central mountain range, the border is virtually irrelevant to peasants who cross it easily on market days and switch…

    As I stood in Centralia’s George Washington Park in the midst of blustery weather and cold rain, Ted pointed out the irony of the statues erected in honor of the Centralia massacre. The large bronze statue known as The Sentinel is the most noticeable and immediately commanded my attention at the center of the park. It was commissioned and placed in 1924 in the name of the four Legionnaires who were killed on that fateful date of November 11, 1919. There is also a tiny plaque on the ground which is a bit more difficult to notice and gives a lasting memory to those were killed in the tragedy. John Regan, co-owner of the Centralia Square Antique Mall, stated, “The monument in the park does not really convey what most people consider to be…

They all had one goal; eradicate the most powerful tribe in southern New England, The Pequot Tribe. They began conflicting over property, warfare, division of labor and nature.

    The Anti-Filipino riot mostly consisted of young, white men who in late January 1930 robbed, beaten, and drove out the Filipinos of their homes in Watsonville, California. In addition to that, the mobs not only “chased Filipinos down the street”, but it also led to the death of 22-year-old Fermin Tobera. Out of the hundreds that rioted only eight were indicted and yet the identity of Cabrera'sTobrera’s murderer was never solved. Nonetheless, the identity of Tobrera’s killer is ultimately insignificant. The significance of this murder and ultimately of the whole spectacle of the anti-Filipino riot in Watsonville is that it showed how American society had an indifferent and racist attitude towards Filipinos, as seen when the community and law enforcement in Watsonville did not even attempt to identify the murderer and essentially allowed this case to fall into obscurity.…

    "The Massacre of the Innocents", painted by Pacecco de Rosa during the 1600s, depicts a scene from the Bible in which we see the moment when soldiers were sent out by King Herod to kill every child in the region to end the rumors of a child prophesied to rule the kingdom. The baby whom he was looking for was none other than Jesus Christ. And upon careful observation, one can see that among all of the chaos occurring in this painting, there is one mother and child who do not seem to be frightened like the others, so one may conclude that this is Mary and her son, Jesus.…

    Guatemala was once the center of the Mayan Kingdom, until the 10th century AD. It was until Spanish explorers conquered the land and made the Mayans slaves in their own country.

With this, it led to many deaths of the Mayans and millions being dragged out of their homes.
