Are Schools Whitewashing Juneteenth And Our Curriculum?
Are Schools Whitewashing Juneteenth And Our Curriculum? June 19, 1866, is one of the most consequential moments in Black history. All races and ages need to understand the struggles people of color (POC) have overcome for decades. But, as time has passed, it has become clear that many children and adults have little knowledge of Juneteenth and what it truly means. This can be explained that it could be because of the lack of Black history in schools. This is not the only time Americans have whitewashed or ignored POC history and unfortunately most likely will not be the last.

The Day of Remembrance and the Legality of Racism
What do you do when random acts of bigotry weave themselves into the fabric of daily life, but you are not in a targeted group? Say something or nothing, do something or nothing? Or some other combination of words and actions? I've seen people who will not and do not publicly denounce bigotry justify their lack of words by pointing out that their actions speak louder.

Why did Canada support the U.N. missions in the 1960's and 70's? Does Canada keep peace, or make it?
Historically Canada was a purely peacekeeping nation, often providing and volunteering large amounts of troops to U.N. peacekeeping interests. This was especially true in the beginning stages of the United Nations peacekeeping origins, evident by Canada’s contingent of troops sent to South Korea to protect the elected government there. That is the literal definition of peacekeeping, but as time went on from the 1950’s to the 2000’s the policies of the U.N. seemed to change from purely peacekeeping to peacemaking with only particular parties. For example, even as the information of genocide in Rwanda was evidentially factual, the U.N. seemed to have no interest in helping the Rwandese people. Canada was the only nation to contribute troops during the 100-day genocide and even then it was only 30 or so troops.
