Spicing It Up In Spanish Harlem: The Puerto Rican Way - Part 2 Of A 4 Part Series
by
Miriam B Medina
Puerto Ricans are established as a large part of American society in today's world, but like many ethnic groups in America, they struggled and worked hard to find their place in the United States. While today, Puerto Ricans make a proud, strong cross section of Americana, their story is quite unique and interesting. In part 1 of this 4 part series we studied the history of their early migration and the lineage of Spanglish, a merging of the English and Spanish language unique to Puerto Rican Americans. In this, part 2 of the series, we examine the growth of Puerto Ricans in American society throughout U.S. History.

Langston Hughes - The Life, Times, Works as Well as Impact of a Versatile African-American Writer
by
Arthur Smith
Langston Hughes stands as a literary and cultural translation of the political resistance and campaign of black consciousness leaders such as Martin Luther King to restore the rights of the black citizenry thus fulfilling the ethos of the American dream, which is celebrated universally every year around February to April. Hughes' overriding sense of a social and cultural purpose tied to his sense of the past, the present and the future of black America commends his life and works as having much to learn from to inspire us to move forward and to inform and guide our steps as we move forward to create a great future. Hughes is also significant since he seems to have conveniently spanned all the genres leaving an indelible stamp on each. For he always considered himself an artist in words who would venture into every single area of literary creativity, because there were readers for whom a story meant more than a poem or a song lyric meant more than a story and Hughes wanted to reach each and every kind of individual.

Columbia Heights - A Neighborhood in Transition
by
Mark M Washburn
The rebirth of Columbia Heights in Washington, DC, into one of the District's most vibrant neighborhoods is a colorful meld of history and triumph of urban planning. In the early 1800s, the Washington Jockey Club race track (near the intersection of 14th and Columbia) was a major draw for horse racing.
By the 1920s, 14th Street had evolved into a vibrant commercial strip with dozens of small grocery stores, cigar stores, clothing shops and nickelodeons.
