Beyoncé made a radical political statement by referring to the Black Panthers and Malcom X when she performed at the Super Bowl. The dancers were wearing black leather and berets which refers to the Black Panthers. Another remarkable detail was that all the dancers had an African-American hairstyle. After the show, the dancers posed with raised fists evocative of the Black power salute by John Carlos and Tommie Smith. 
 
The Black power salute, also known as the 1968 Olympics Human Rights Salute, which was during the medal ceremony of two African-American athletes (Tommie Smith and John Carlos) and was a political demonstration. This event is seen as one of the most openly political statements in history of the Olympics. So, the fact that Beyoncé uses this in her performance at one of the biggest sport games of America makes it even more special. 
 
Everyone was very positive about Beyoncé’s performance, but the political statement that she made wasn’t received that great by everyone and such a thing doesn’t belong at the Super bowl according to some. A lot of people thought it was ridiculous that she attacked police officers because they are the ones that protect her and the rest of the country.

 In 1937 Patrick McDonald opened a food stand which was named 'the Airdrome' on Huntington Drive. Hot dogs was one of the first sold items and hamburgers were added later to the menu (10 cents including all you can drink orange juice for 5 cents). In 1940 his two sons moved the restaurant, named it McDonald’s Bar-B-Que and added 25 items to the menu (mainly barbecue). 
 
 But when the brothers discovered that they were mainly selling hamburgers they closed the restaurant to establish a simple menu with only hamburger and a streamlined system. On this menu were only hamburgers and it became a self-service restaurant. In 1948, they changed the name again and this time to simply ‘McDonalds’. In 1953, they searched for franchisees and they were successful because they opened one in the same year. 

One of the franchisees (Jim Delligatti) invented the Big Mac which is an all-time favourite in 1668. The Big Mac is a hamburger with three layers of bread, two burgers, pickles, cheese, lettuce, onion and Big Mac sauce. And this immediately became the trade mark of the company. It is even so that the price of a Big Mac is used to compare the coasts of life maintenance in the world.

George Washington became the first president of the United States in 1789 after he was chosen unanimous. His biggest accomplishments were the defeat of the Whiskey Rebellion and keeping America out of the conflict between France and Britain. 

George handed over the presidency to his vice-president John Adams in 1797. After that, he returned to his country estates in Mount Vernon. He died after a short period of illness in 1799. ]]> 2018-01-18 15:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/c_clauwers/npd1t0x0s18d/wish/222456702 c_clauwers https://padlet.com/c_clauwers/npd1t0x0s18d/wish/222459115 2018-01-18 15:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/c_clauwers/npd1t0x0s18d/wish/222459115 Lady Gaga - The real American Dream c_clauwers https://padlet.com/c_clauwers/npd1t0x0s18d/wish/222491248 The real name of lady gaga is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta and was born in New York in 1986.
