Salt Lake Community College honored some of the African American pioneers of the United States military’s five branches. The College launched a campaign during National Black History month dedicated to the stories of military personnel that don’t often get told. “Every year, Salt Lake Community College focuses on an aspect of Black History that is educational and isn’t necessarily in the mainstream,” said Joy Tlou, SLCC public relations director. “In the past, we’ve put together profiles of poets, visual artists, musicians, and this year we decided to take a closer look at some of the lesser-known accomplishments African-Americans have made to our country’s military history.” Perhaps the two most famous groups profiled by the College were The Tuskegee Airmen and Buffalo Soldiers. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the United States armed forces. These soldiers fought in the United States’ armed forces in World War II. Buffalo Soldiers were mem...

On March 13, 2012, Ronny Edry posted a photo of himself and his daughter on Facebook with the message, “Iranians, we will never bomb your country. We love you.” A graphic designer from Tel Aviv, Israel, Edry was concerned about impending war between Israel and Iran, and he wanted to send a message of peace. Very soon, Edry’s friends in Israel responded to his poster by sending him their own photos and asking him to create peace posters out of them. And within 48 hours, peace posters from Iran started appearing on Facebook, too. Soon the peace message spread to other countries, and posters from people in the U.S., France, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, and many countries, started to appear. Edry enlisted the help of friends to create more peace posters, the press got wind of it, and before long he was giving a TED Talk about the peace campaign that grew from one simple poster he uploaded to Facebook on March 13, 2012. Edry’s TED Talk now has over 1 million views. ...
