We Need to Get it Together

In this time of catastrophe and uncertainty it is important that people of color reinforce ties and weld bonds. In popular culture there is much talk about the world's end; as well as, what is expected to become of the human population. There are rumors that the super rich have exclusive vessels under construction to transport them to an unforeseen location but the less fortunate are expected to just die. With this being said, I feel like the study of multiculturalism amongst African-Americans, Native Americans, and Latinos will somehow facilitate a connectedness that will eventually redeem the unified history of our pasts. Furthermore, this past will be the foundation for our people to ban together and construct decisions that will too ensure us a safe future. Even if the rumors in the pop culture mill about life's untimely demise is fabricated, at least the minorities would have come together and realized that together they are much more powerful than apart. A step toward this notion was found in an effort to unite the African American and Afro Latino cultures of New York City. The "Points of Unity" conference was initiated by College's Global Afro Latino and Caribbean Initiative and by the Caribbean Cultural Center. The effort was sponsored by Hunter but the participants aimed to establish an ad commission on Afro descendants, which hopefully will work to better educate the public about African American and Afro Latino commonalities, which in turn may bring the two communities together. Although this may be a small effort, it is something that in time may expand and bring all of the Afro communities together.
