day 4

Yesterday in class we worked on a lot of worksheets. Today we did some more exciting things, we talked about what was going on with civil rights a bit. My favorite part of class was when e read two poems in class. One poem compared the south to a whore, basically stating that it would do anything to get money that's why they had slavery. The second poem talked about people who lived in the South didn't want to necessarily be there. At the end of class we listened to some old jazz music that was made when the African American's first started to express themselves through the arts. The music reminded me of old black and white silent movies and old swing music, I enjoyed being able to here the kind of music they were creating and listening to back at that time period.
