Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus was born in approximately 163 B.C.E to Tiberius Gracchus the Elder and Cornelia Africana. Gaius Gracchus, his younger brother, was born in 154 B.C.E. In the 2nd century B.C., the two brothers formed “The Gracchi”. The two, born plebeians, belonged to one of the most influential families in Rome, the Sempronia. Their father was the tribune of the plebs, the praetor, consul and censor. Fatherless from a young age, they were taught democratic views by tutors. As they grew older and gained influence, their goal became to restructure Rome in a way that benefited the underprivileged and unfortunate. At the time, their help was especially welcome as members of the Populare, a political group whose purpose was to serve the people, rather than the aristocracy (like the Optimates). The ideals of the Gracchi leaned towards what people today would call populism or socialism; in fact, they are almost reverently called “the founding fathers” (Fife 1) of the aforementioned political parties. The brothers were perhaps so interested in restoring the rights of the people because of the dichotomy of their plebeian births within a noble line.

There is a quote by my favorite musical artist, Jhene Aiko, which says “What you create for you, no one can take from you. Your energy, love and your soul is all that goes wherever you go. Everything else don’t.” This strongly resonates with me because growing up, I never had a place where I felt I could fit into , I usually had to create one. From being the only hispanic in my entirely West African/German-American family to being the only boy who wanted to be in the drama club more than the sports teams.This obligation to create a place where I belonged, often came with many challenges and still does.
