James Baldwin’s enduring legacy on display at DePaul

1 month ago | depauliaonline.com | Jake Cox

“I think I’ve been heard, and I think I’ve frightened people,” James Baldwin told The DePaulia in 1986, his words both an indictment and a warning. Nearly 40 years later, his fears — of racism’s endurance, of America’s failure to confront its history — still loom over the national discourse. In an era where affirmative action is being dismantled and Black history is increasingly vilified, Baldwin’s words feel eerily prophetic. His voice still challenges the country today.

A slew of losses has relegated the program to a less-than-ideal position in the eyes of students, fans and the Big East standings. Despite these hardships, not all is lost for the Blue Demons, who are in rebuild mode. The conversation surrounding DePaul’s basketball program is shifting, as the Blue Demons are off to a better start than in previous seasons — both on the court and in ticket sales.

This round’s on me DeJamz

Categories: It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for, my second annual birthday DeJamz (cue the applause). As I write this, I look over at my DeJamz from last year hanging on my wall, and naturally I’m filled with dread at the thought of writing a playlist that’d pale in comparison. But I can do hard things. As these words are brought onto the material plane somewhere in the suburbs, I’ll officially be 21 years old –– now able to revel in a vodka cran without fear.

Nov 5, 2024 | depauliaonline.com | Jake Cox

As the election season comes to a close, students reflect on whether DePaul should cancel classes on Election Day to allow students every opportunity to cast their ballot. Currently, Chicago Public Schools give the day off allowing students of age, faculty and staff the chance to vote on Election Day. Molly Thompson, a mother of a seven-year-old and a four-year-old who attend Chicago’s public school, voted in person on the morning of Election Day.
