Day 4 daily blog

I'm still blogging...woohoo! Anyways on day 3 we learned about Marcus Greavey, and why he was such a big deal to the civil rights movement. We filled out some papers about him, and we went to second lunch. Today, we learned about the African american renaissance, listened to Jazz music, read poems, and looked at art. It was enjoyable.

Day 2 Blog of the Century (It's pretty deep)

Today for class we finished notes on the Reconstruction and also we began to plan out our RSA animate style projects. I'm pretty sure my groups RSA will be the best. On Tuesday we took our notes on the Reconstruction effort. We also learned about how badly the african americans were put down by the white southerners. Then we did a worksheet on the Car act. It's really stupid, separating whites and blacks on trains. Equality cannot exist with separation. However, I believe equality is a lie made up by us humans to make ourselves feel better about ourselves. I mean we are all the same, right? No. How can we be treated equally or have equal experiences if we are all different people. There is no equality we are bought up differently. Certain advantages that some people are born with may cause them to be better than others, thus canceling out equality altogether. because of our conversation I learned that we live in a world molded by hypocritical lies.

Day 7 blog

Today in class we took notes about the 14th amendment, and the reactions about it from white southerners and african americans. We also looked at wether the 14th amendment was constitutional or not. On day 6 we did worksheets about the 14th amendment. The last two classes have been a blast!
