Audre Lorde ( ; born Audrey Geraldine Lorde; February 18, 1934 – November 17, 1992) was a writer, feminist, womanist, librarian, and civil rights activist.
 As a poet, she is best known for technical mastery and emotional expression, as well as her poems that express anger and outrage at civil and social injustices she observed throughout her life.
 Her poems and prose largely deal with issues related to civil rights, feminism, and the exploration of black female identity.
 In relation to non-intersectional feminism in the United States, Lorde famously said, "Those of us who stand outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women; those of us who have been forged in the crucibles of difference -- those of us who are poor, who are lesbians, who are Black, who are older -- know that survival is not an academic skill.
 It is learning how to take our differences and make them strengths.
 For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house.
 They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.
 And this fact is only threatening to those women who still define the master's house as their only source of support."
Sister Outsider is a poetry duo that specializes in slam poetry or spoken word.
 Dominique Christina and Denice Frohman are both Women of the World Poetry Slam Champions.
 Their collaboration has brought them success over the last two years as they have been to over 90 universities, colleges, conferences, and many other spaces across the United States.
 Inspired by the life of Audre Lorde, their premise is to encourage students and people across all generations to understand the power of art.
 They believe art can be a form of activism and expression that goes well beyond the page.
 Aside from their vivid performances, Sister Outsider also offers workshops to help students with their poetry writing as well as the delivery aspect to slam poetry.
L. Ron Hubbard was the inventor of Dianetics and founder of Scientology.
 Born in Tilden, Nebraska in March 1911, Hubbard grew up with his family in Helena, Montana.
 He was unusually well-traveled for a young man of his time due to his father's frequent relocations in connection with his service in the United States Navy.
 He lived in a number of locations in the United States and traveled to Guam, the Philippines, China, and Japan.
 He enrolled at George Washington University in 1930 to study civil engineering, but dropped out in his second year.
 While at GWU, he organized an expedition to the Caribbean for fellow students which looms large in his official biography but was a flop according to contemporary accounts.
 He subsequently spent time in Puerto Rico panning for gold, before returning to the United States, marrying his pregnant girlfriend, and embarking on a career as a "penny-a-word" writer.
Tav Falco's Panther Burns, sometimes shortened to (The) Panther Burns, is a rock band originally from Memphis, Tennessee, United States, led by Tav Falco.
 They are best known for having been part of a set of bands emerging in the late 1970s and early 1980s who helped nationally popularize the blending of blues, country, and other American traditional music styles with rock music among groups playing in alternative music and punk music venues of the time.
 The earliest and most renowned of these groups to imbue these styles with expressionist theatricality and primitive spontaneity were The Cramps, largely influenced by rockabilly music.
 Forming just after them in 1979, Panther Burns drew on obscure country blues music, Antonin Artaud's works like "The Theater and Its Double", beat poetry, and Marshall McLuhan's media theories for their early inspiration.
 Alongside groups like The Cramps and The Gun Club, Panther Burns ranked among the contributing influences and progenitors of the Southern Gothic-tinged roots music revival scene that arose during the last two decades of the 20th century and continued into the early 2000s.
Herbert Marshall McLuhan {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (July 21, 1911December 31, 1980) was a Canadian professor, philosopher, and public intellectual.
 His work is one of the cornerstones of the study of media theory, as well as having practical applications in the advertising and television industries.
 He studied at the University of Manitoba and the University of Cambridge; he began his teaching career as a Professor of English at several universities in the U.S. and Canada before moving to the University of Toronto, where he remained for the rest of his life.
Melissa Lou Etheridge (born May 29, 1961) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and activist.
 Her self-titled debut album "Melissa Etheridge" was released in 1988 and became an underground success.
 The album peaked at No. 22 on the "Billboard" 200, and its lead single, "Bring Me Some Water", garnered Etheridge her first Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female.
 In 1993, Etheridge won her first Grammy award for her single "Ain't It Heavy" from her third album, "Never Enough".
 Later that year, she released what would become her mainstream breakthrough album, "Yes I Am".
 Its tracks "I'm the Only One" and "Come to My Window" both reached the top 30 in the United States, and the latter earned Etheridge her second Grammy award.
 "Yes I Am" peaked at No. 15 on the "Billboard" 200, and spent 138 weeks on the chart, earning a RIAA certification of 6x Platinum, her largest to date.
The Marshall Islands joined the United Nations on September 17, 1991.
 Although the Marshall Islands are sovereign, the Republic is bound by a Compact of Free Association with the United States.
 The Marshall Islands show overwhelming support for the United States.
 On 13 key issues in 2008, the Marshall Islands matched the vote of the United States 100% of the time.
 In 2015, however, the Marshall Islands voted to condemn the US embargo over Cuba.
 The motion at the United Nations was supported by 191 member states, with two votes against (the United States and Israel) and no country abstaining.
Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches is a collection of essays and speeches by Audre Lorde, poet and feminist writer.
 The book is considered a classic volume of Lorde's most influential works of non-fiction prose and has been groundbreaking and formative in the development of contemporary feminist theories.
 In fifteen essays and speeches dating from 1976 to 1984, Lorde explores the complexities of intersectional identity, drawing from her personal experiences with oppression, including sexism, heterosexism, racism, homophobia, classism, and ageism.
 The book examines a broad range of topics, including love, war, imperialism, police brutality, coalition building, violence against women, Black feminism, and movements towards equality.
 Lorde's distrust for and internalization of the widespread system of dominant values within the United States is apparent throughout the collection.
 The work is considered controversial as Lorde expresses unapologetic anger at the injustices of society.
 The essays in this collection are extensively taught and have become a popular subject of academic analysis.
 Lorde's theorizing of oppressions as complex and interlocking within the collection are considered a significant contribution to critical social theory.
Gerrit Schipper (or Gerrit Schipper) (baptized 13 September 1775, Amsterdam – c. 1832 London) was a Dutch painter specializing in pastel portraiture and miniature portrait paintings.

 He is believed to have arrived in the United States in 1802.
 He was active in New York, Charleston, Savannah, and several cities in Massachusetts.
 In about 1807 he moved to Canada and spent time in Quebec City and Montreal, where he produced many portraits of notable local people.
 He moved to England in 1810.
This is a list of Hispanos, both settlers and their descendants (either fully or partially of such origin), who were born or settled, between the early 16th century and 1850, in what is now the southwestern United States (including California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, southwestern Colorado, Utah and Nevada), as well as Florida, Louisiana (1763–1800) and other Spanish colonies in what is now the United States.
 Governors and explorers, who spent time in these places serving the Spanish crown but never settled in them as colonists, are not included, although they also helped shape the history of the present United States.
 This list shows notable people of Spanish and Mexican origin who lived in the Hispanic colonies now part of the United States.
