"I've loved history since I was a kid and always liked learning about how people lived in the past. It's really interesting to see how things have changed over time. I also enjoy history through music and movies because they make the past feel real. Whether it’s an old song or a movie set in another time, it always grabs my attention."

"I love learning about significant historical events that connect with the present day. As an Africana Studies Minor, I’m especially interested in Civil Rights History, because I’m learning about how systemic injustice operates and how people dismantled it. That knowledge is empowering. Furthermore, it’s unfinished. Civil rights history isn’t just the past. It flows directly into current movements, policies, and lived experiences today. I am especially grateful for the amazing history professors and staff on campus."
