Lecture and workshop facilitators can select the topic and format that they like, provided it fits with the MOSAIC’s mission to increase cultural awareness on campus. Student organizations, faculty, and staff are encouraged to participate in the MOSAIC Cultural Awareness Series by organizing a lecture or workshop. Each workshop or lecture lasts approximately one to one and half hours and is open to all members of the campus community. To help facilitate this, Department of Student Life in conjunction with the Office of Multicultural Programs and Services, has worked to develop monthly lectures and workshops meant to highlight different cultures while at the same time encouraging the campus community to continue cultural exploration on their own. Now, a heroic group of nineteen selfless men rush in the mouth of the raging inferno, to protect the lives and homes that stand in the way of the rampaging, all-consuming flames, only to find themselves trapped in the heart of the exitless Yarnell Hill Fire. Perhaps some of the flashbacks could have been suppressed, but all in all the script is well constructed and the acting very convincing and many times very moving.The mission of the MOSAIC Cultural Awareness Series is to promote cultural awareness across campus and to allow students, staff, and faculty the opportunity to explore different cultures and talk about their findings in a comfortable and supportive setting.

For both groups you try to connect with some unreachable element which you call god with different names and which reassures you and gives you courage. Loss of life, grief of your companions on the battlefield and in the families and friends far away. The problem is that the bullet which kills you doesn't care if you're white, black or your skin yellow. In the Army those who nevertheless volunteered to join the allied forces, were like their fellow black compatriots, subject to racist behavior of the white soldiers. The USA after the shock of Pearl Harbor took measures totally inexcusable against citizens born in the country and treated like prisoners of war.

From my perspective as a French citizen this movie deals from the first image to the last about tolerance, respect of the one who is different from you. But is it really the point the script writer and the director wanted to stress out? My answer is no. The easy way to look at this movie is to see the courage and determination of those guys to save the Texas battalion from complete destruction. I've read the negative reviews and the conclusion I draw from them is that their authors obviously refuse to look at the real purpose of the script.

Only the brave movie geneseo ny
