From violent acts against the LGBT Community, controversial politics and celebrities, to discrimination against minorities this year has definitely been a mirror image of the darkness of this country's past. With every event that has occurred this year, there is a past event almost identical to the current one. This is a sign of "history repeating itself". It's a reoccurring cycle that we always make headlining news rather than discussing solutions to breaking this cycle. My goal for our country is to end the cycle and ensure our future generations that they will not be going through things that have been occurring for the passed 60 years. This country will never be perfect, but we can definitely better ourselves and learn how to treat one another.

Stonewall Riots-1969

Pulse Nightclub Shooting-2016

March on Washington-1963

After almost 50 years, we have seen an immense amount of growth within the LGBT Community. This community continues to gain supporters, but the number of people that are against them is constantly growing.

Black Lives Matter movement-2016

This movement that makes media headlines everyday displays the exact same emotions that was seen in the 60's. We've been arguing over the same problems and there has not been a solution.

I would say possible solution for these reoccurrences is simply just keeping an open mind towards our country's issues.
