SWA 5

After reading Kings letter from Birmingham jail and visiting the Black Bone exhibit it is clear to see even though it has been many years since Kings time there is still little diversity among people in the United States. Grant it may not be as obvious or as bad as then, it is still there. Especially now that our new president is openly bias towards others of different cultures and sets out to “block them out”I think it is time for the country to take a step back and learn from our past.

What I took away from our recent readings and visit to the Black Bone exhibit is that not only are people still being oppressed but they are reaching out and attempting to make a change. This changes important it shapes their future and our future. Ad I believe people should follow them in example, instead of using violence that clearly had no good outcome when people in the past did.  It is honestly silly to me that now in 2017 people who are not white still have to be fight for there rights or even question them. We are repeating ourselves again the only way to fix it is to learn from the past and trust that one day there will be change for the better.
