The Thanksgiving Truth

The Thanksgiving Truth

Noelle Cabrera, For the past 52 years, on each Thanksgiving, a crowd has gathered before Cole’s Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts. While Americans across the country sit down to feast with their loved ones, those gathered in Plymouth beat drums, lead prayers, and march in protest. For these Indigenous Americans and their allies, this day is not about food, family or thankfulness. It is a day of mourning.

How to have a fun, COVID free summer

Noelle Cabrera, As millions of people nationwide receive the COVID-19 vaccine and our world continues to make progress towards returning to “normal,” it is easy to forget the precautions we must continue to take, especially with summer on its way. During the summer of 2020 when COVID-19 was still new, there was a surge in cases. We saw then that many disregarded the warnings of health officials and carried on with summer trips, barbeques, and other large gatherings. Now, with vaccinations, it is safer for vaccinated people to interact with one another, but it is still important to be cautious when around those who are unvaccinated, and if you yourself are unvaccinated. It may be tempting to hang out with friends or go on big trips this summer since it seems as if cases are under control, but if we can stay safe and vigilant we may have a chance at having a somewhat normal summer next year. However, this does not mean that we have to stay inside quarantining, as there are plenty of options for safe and fun activities that we can enjoy.

Black History Month and How It Is Being Celebrated

Black History Month and How It Is Being Celebrated

Noelle Cabrera, For years, February has been a designated month to acknowledge and celebrate the vast accomplishments of African-American people throughout history. Black History Month started off as Negro History Week, which was created by Historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, and first celebrated in 1926. Negro History Week occurred the same week as the birthdays of President Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist Frederick Douglas, who are two prominent figures in Black history. Negro History Week evolved into Black History Month, which was insitiutionalized in 1976 by President Gerald Ford with a proclamation that has been renewed every year by each president since. “Black History Month means representation to me, it means taking time to recognize our progress but to also recognize what we still need to do,” said Black Student Union President Talia Hamilton. “It is to celebrate and love Black culture, and so much more.”
