Seccombe: The City of San Bernardino’s Mexican American Defense Committee and Its Role in Regional and National Desegregation BY MARK OCEGUEDA ABSTRACT: This article examines Lopez v. Seccombe, one of the earliest successful desegregation court cases in United States history. The legal challenge was decided in 1944 in the City of San Bernardino, California and desegregated city parks and recreational facilities, specifically the Perris Hill “plunge” or pool. The decision of this case set precedent for other local desegregation challenges, including the much more celebrated Mendez v. Westminster decision in 1947, and eventually had influence on the landmark Supreme Court decision of Brown v.

Evoking concerns around young women and ‘sexualisation’, Cyrus emerges as a convergent signifier of sexualised media content and the girl-at-risk. As Cyrus is repeatedly invoked in these debates, she comes to function as the bad object of young femininity. Arguing, however, that Cyrus troubles the sexualisation thesis in the provocations of her creative practice, I suggest that this contested media figure exceeds the frames through which she is read.

  • Miley Cyrus Bjuder På Smakprov Från Kommande Albumet "Younger Now"
    2017-09-21 14:45 CEST Miley Cyrus bjuder på smakprov från kommande albumet "Younger Now" Nästa fredag släpper Miley Cyrus”Younger Now” vilket är hennes sjätte studioalbum. Vi har redan fått ta del av ”Malibu”,”Inspired”och aktuella singeln ”Younger Now” från albumet. Idag bjuder Miley på ytterligare ett spår - nya låten ”Week Without You” har text skriven av Miley Cyrus och musik och produktion är gjord av Miley Cyrus tillsammans med Oren Yoel. Nya albumet ”Younger Now” tar bland upp temat ”no one stays the same”, en textrad som finns med i singeln “Younger Now”. Miley har alltid varit sann mot sig själv i sin musik och hennes fans har kunnat följa med Mileys livsresa och känslor genom musiken. Med nya albumet vill Miley dela med sig av sin personliga utveckling på ett ännu djupare plan – hon har skrivit texterna till alla de 11 låtarna och hon har varit med och skrivit musiken och i produktionen av albumet. “This writing process has been a really different experience because I’ve never put out an album this way,” säger Miley. “People have been asking me, ‘is this like a re-introduction of yourself?’ But it’s not that at all. Actually, it’s more like, I am this person who embraces all my past selves. This album is the most me for right now that I can be.” Younger Now - låtlista: 1. Younger Now 2. Malibu 3.

  • The Program Narrative
    B. Section II: The Program Narrative San Bernardino Valley College Student Success Project 1. San Bernardino’s Successes and Challenges San Bernardino Valley College (SBVC) serves a student population of nearly 27,000, the majority of whom are minorities. Nearly 48% of students identify themselves as Hispanic. A federally designated Hispanic Serving Institution and Minority Serving Institution, the college has considered the issue of effectively serving the large number of diverse students one of its top priorities. To that end, the college currently offers nine programs targeting student success and academic achievement: • Tumaini • The Puente Project • Valley-Bound Commitment • Extended Opportunities Programs and Services (EOP&S) • Success Through Achievement and Retention (STAR) • California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWorks) • Middle College High School (MCHS) • Foster & Kinship Care Education (FKCE) • Math and Science Student Success Center (MSSSC) A number of these programs are well established and have been shown to significantly improve student grades, transfer rates, and graduation rates. The most pressing challenge facing the college, however, is meeting the incredible demand for services while grappling with year-to- year funding cuts as a result of the California state budget crisis. College administrators and student services staff are invested in not only improving existing services, but expanding them, to reach the greatest number of students and to assist them in attaining their educational goals. For this reason, San Bernardino College is applying to be a part of the 2011-2012 Walmart AIHEC HACU NAFEO Student Success Collaborative. For Hispanic students, core values of sharing and networks of relationships are keys to their success and lend themselves well to collaborative and experiential learning settings.
