The above poetry lines were inspired from the original poem by Emily Dickinson entitled: “Wild nights – wild nights!” I reflected upon line 7 and 8 to make inferences to the Christopher Columbus voyages, and to create the poem an response to Dickinson.

COLUMBUS AND INDIGENOUS DAY 2021.
Within this writing I reflect upon Columbus and Indigenous Peoples Day 2021.
CHAPTER 13 | SUMMARY!
Within this writing I reflect to provide a summary of “Chapter 13 New York, ca. 1920s-’60s” from the book entitled “EL NORTE” I found this chapter refreshing to learn of the evolutions and blending of cultural infusions with arts, poetry and dance. Puerto Rican, Cuban and Spanish migration to New York led to the creation of the idea of Hispanidad, that aimed to create a shared Latin American cultural heritage.
EMERGING VOICES!
Within this writing I reflect upon the recent readings and notes from the book entitled: “EL NORTE,” as related to my previous blog posts and current events, and why I feel that it is necessary to read and learn the American Hispanic / Spanish heritage.
BOOK READING NOTES!
This blog post page is to share and preserve thoughts as I read through the book entitled: “EL NORTE, The Epic and Forgotten Story of North America” (Gibson, 2019).
REFLECTION | UNCOVERED HISTORY.
These thoughts are a continuation from the journey of study of American History.

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
These thoughts are written to offer a response to a previous question that I has written and reflected upon during previous writings. With specific focus upon the topic of Confederacy.
A Q and A!
These thoughts reflect upon my a question that I had written in my previous thoughts, they seek to build and expand our awareness upon the significance of the ship / sailboats as modes of travel within history for expeditions, imports and exports of goods and services. I further tie this thought with the protests / socio-political moments which have sought to create unnecessary divides that are not directly linked to the reason of protest. #ShaziaBlog
