Trees Are Essential To Our Life Experience
Trees are not just a key to the natural ecosystem; they are an essential part of our life experience. From majestic individual trees that have historical significance or are simply beautiful, to a quiet grove of greenery we seek for solitude, trees enrich our life experience simply by just being there. Trees are the longest-lived and largest plant form on earth, and throughout recorded history, trees have been acknowledged as symbols of power, wisdom, fertility, and life.

When the topic of the Moorish influence in Europe is being discussed, one of the first questions that arise is, what race were they? As early as the Middle Ages, Moors were commonly viewed as being mostly "black", dark or very “swarthy”, and hence the word “black” is often used for negro, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. Author and historian Chancellor Williams said “the original Moors, like the original Egyptians, were negro (black) Africans.” Let me make this very clear. (Us) Moors do not consider themselves "black". So I'll be using this term colloquially.
