Girard College Wall

Posted by Jayla Wright in Spanish 2 · Hernandez · B Band on
For seven months and 17 days, picketing and marching happened along the walls surrounding Girard College. The intention of the protests were to make the school integrated since Girard College's founder, Stephen Girard, intended the school to be for white boys only. The protests were led by Cecil B. Moore and on August 3, 1965 Martin Luther King Jr. visited the marchers and said the wall would crumble like the walls of Jericho. The issue of the school being segregated became a court case that went back and forth. After the Supreme Court refused to review the case trustees of Girard College voted to allow African-American students to join their school. Eventually four black boys were attending Girard College.

Mural Localización

El localización es el parte de atrás de mi casa porque yo creo que es interesante. Yo no pongo encontró información de mi barrio, pero yo pongo encontró información de Filadelfia. Filadelfia había fundado por William Penn en el veintisiete de Octubre, 1682. Filadelfia es adónde el Declaración de Independencia había escrito y el localización de la Campana de Libertad.

Work and Wisdom - Racism in the Workplace

Posted by Desarae Gilbert in English 3 · Block/Franz/Taylor-Baranik · E Band on

“It's scary to know that people still live like that in 2017...They don't straight out discriminate or say something racist, it's just the way they tell stories and emphasize that they have black friends among other things.” People face racial discrimination everyday and it is a big reality that a lot of people have to deal with, but it can be an even bigger issue when it happens in the workplace. I interviewed both of my parents on the topic of racial bias and their experiences throughout life at different jobs. I mostly wanted to hear about how things may or may not have changed through the years. Out of the interviews, my parents said that they did not really feel like they were being discriminated against at their jobs, but it isn't something they haven't noticed in small things that happen. Racial harassment is up to record levels in offices and factories across the country, and by that I mean racist graffiti, Klu Klux Klan propaganda and even physical threats. Racial harassment cases have more than doubled since the early 1990s, hitting an all-time  high of 6,977 in 2007, according to EEOC data and it's interesting because nine out of ten of race harassment charges are filed by Blacks. There is a plethora of reasons as to why racial harassment is escalating. Some blame the struggling economy that has caused major job insecurity to more people of color in the workplace while others blame violent video games. “I haven't seen it in it's ugliest form, but I do notice the bias. Some people were chosen to do tasks that they were not necessarily qualified to do, but because of their skin color, they got picked for the job anyway.” From the small things such as certain people doing tasks more than others to full on racial slurs at work or more, racial discrimination is still alive and well today.


Work and Wisdom - Working with the FDA by Gavin Lane (RT. 12)

Posted by Gavin Lane in English 3 · Block/Franz/Taylor-Baranik · E Band on
For this project, I interviewed my Aunt Jane on her work in a company called Roche, and specifically the field in that company that she works in. Her field involves working with the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to make sure the products that her company makes (medical devices), are up to standard. Since the FDA has regulations on food/drinks, drugs, cosmetics, medicines, and medical devices, companies that make these things need to have a regulatory department to deal with those FDA regulations. That is the position that my aunt works in, and that is what I  alk about in this interview.

Podcast Interview

So this podcast was a very interesting I interviewed my mother whom was very open to being interviewed. The idea of work and wisdom can be a very debatable topic. My mother mainly talked about how certain struggles impacted her life, and how she ended up where she is today. I changed my mind as to how I made the ending, at first I was gonna end with a narration, or a my mother reading the bible, however I decided to have the ending flow because my mother began talking about me and how it's basically my choice on how to live my life. Based off of that I want the audience to believe that they have a choice no matter the situation. 
I think doing the podcast put my mother a I closer together, understanding her struggles, and what she goes through, throughout the day. This podcast also was difficult in a sense of how personal it really got, and how emotional it can get seeing someone talk about their struggles. However it was a good experience seeing another perspective other than my own.

The watch towers mural is located in 910 dickinson street. And it was made mainly by Joe Boruchow but he of course had help from other artists and specialists. This mural was planned out on plain black paper and it was said to be repainted 30 times it's original size on the paper to fit the side of the house. The scale was a lot larger than just a small mural, it had to be made to fit the whole side of a 3 story row home.
