When looking for an image that spoke to my research question of the Multicultural Center and diversity at SCU, I came across a great modern day example that is the pinnacle why the MCC was created and also shows what is stands for today. The image below shows an anti-immigration protest in which the protesters are trying to gain support for the deportation of immigrants in the US.

While the people in this image have the right to protest issues that they feel strongly about, this does a great job of showing the animosity that some US citizens have towards others with a different ethnic background living in the United States today. As I refer to in my archival draft, colored students like Gabriel Negrete felt like they was looked down upon by the majority of the white population that attended the University. This kind of abhorring attitude can clearly belittle a person and make them feel the need to unite with others against this crippling power.

After figuring this out, I can now have a more complete sense of how the culture surrounding minorities at SCU resulted in the creation of the MCC. Due to the large amounts of profiling that occurred, the minority students decided to band together to form a steadfast organization in which they could push for equal standards and respect. Images like this one would be great to add to my paper in order to show the animosity that minorities had to deal with over the years.
