America I Am, National Geographic Field Trip

Today on Tuesday the 12th, our class along with Mr.Garner's class attended a National Geographic exhibit called America I Am: The Black American Imprint. After visiting the exhibit, we can conclude that the title is saying America, the life, culture, and history from the black prospective. The exhibit was interesting, simulating life and times in different periods of American history. i t was cool walking through and seeing how blacks lived and acted. the most, different part of the exhibit was walking through the bottom of the slave ship, the creaking floor bored. it was cool seeing the achievement part of the area, knowing our culture, our people have achieved so much. our favorite art of he exhibit was Michael Jordan, Chicago Bull's Jersey, And Tupac Shukur's poem in the middle of the room. the video at the back of end of the exhibit was the best, seeing so many iconic faces achieving so much, paving the was for the future generations. it is true "You can only appreciate freedom when you finally find yourself in a position where you're rooting for sombody else's freedom, and not worried about your own" - Ruby Dee
