Hi! My name is Paula. I am currently a general biology major. However, I am strongly considering switching to Early Childhood Development. My passion is dance specifically modern and contemporary. I enjoy looking at sunrises, pictures of cute animals, and fashion. I am obsessed with the minions from Despicable Me, especially Steve. You can find me on twitter @paulaw_dcc
This picture depicts the riots happening in Ferguson. There are rows of heavily armed police prepared to take down the rioters. However, in this picture the protests are peaceful and meaningful. The people in Ferguson are protesting the racism and racial profiling that white police officers have done that lead to black teenagers being killed.
I am looking forward to learning more about social movements that have sparked the country into nation-wide debate.
Welcome to the class! I am glad that you have already been engaging with the online discussions of Ferguson – we will be exploring these perspectives in much more depth in our third unit, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts when we get there.
