This experience for our school is amazing..us being a group of young adults experiencing and being with different cultures as really brought us together...sometimes you make think as what we call "not fitting in" a problem, but when you really look at it as soon as you say hi to a person you have already become friends.. Traveling with the children from Baltimore was a first time experience for the 10 seniors that came..As we traveled to Alabama we came across different scenarios dealing with different people.. We as a group of young teens never thought we would be in different situations where we would be stared at or was thought about in someone's head...one thing I thought about today was voicing your opinion, back then blacks didn't really have a option to voice out there opinion. That's why much didn't get done because they tossed out the intelligence of blacks and listened to what the opposite race had to say..if they listened to blacks back then I think that a lot of stuff that happen wouldn't have happen because the different opinions would be in the newspaper and everyone could read it and make a decision on it...another problem is people back then didn't have love for each other they had so much hatred in Psalms 45:7 it says thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows..if everyone got along the way we do now we could've worked together to accomplish some things back then..instead they wanted to be violent and cause lots of damage...one thing I don't get today is back then the whites fought us because they didn't like us, and today we fight our own color whereabout we are suppose to help one another but instead we talk about each other and we judge each other..some people may not care about what happen because they may say "we'll I wasn't in it so why should i care" even though you may not care you should be concerned about the people that brought you here today..
