Growing up I was told that you should not judge a book by its cover, but growing up in a historically underprivileged and segregated community dimmed any illumination. In my community, our stereotypes became a guide for accepting the ways things were and our disunity was a result of not understanding our commonalities.

To make an impact in our communities, we must first consider that “the first revolution begins with our selves.” To understand our journey at a university and as a member of our great fraternity, we must note then that the history of our cultura includes the history of revolution in the Americas.
