The spring of 1963

So today in class we went the lab to work on the project that is due at midnight to night. Yesterday we did the same thing. Tomorrow we are going there as well to work on something...exactly what that is I don't know at the present time. Anyways, I'm going to go ahead and end this post so that I can actually finnish the history project now. 

In class today we discussed the black panther party and we talked about what we are going to have to do for the rest of the year. On of them is the flipped classroom where we have to do our class work at home and we have more time for discussions during class. 

So we didn't have class on Tuesday due to snow day so I'm writing tonight instead of last night. On Monday we got into groups and we answered some questions on them. Then we got into another group and discussed the different documents that we had and answered more questions about our reading. Today this is what we finished up and then we watched the I have a dream speech by Martin Luther King Jr. After this we talked about Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.

Today in class we took notes on the freedom rides. Then we began a movie about them we however did not get to finish it because the bell rang. Yesterday we took some more notes about another topic that has to do with the civil rights movement in the 1960's. 

Okay wow I completely forget to blog for the longest time! I don't actually have to blog tonight but I wont be home tomorrow until very late and one i don't want to do it then and two I will probably forget to do it at that time. Anyways history class. Today we talked about whether or not segregation was still a problem and we read this article about this place in Louisiana where there was a segregation issue. Mostly for the past few days and the past week this is what we have been talking about; segregation. We talked about Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks and why they were able to open peoples eyes about what was really going on. We also watched a documentary about the murder of Emit Till and it was really sad and the day that we watched it was also my birthday and so that made my day a little worse but it was interesting to watch and it was really sad and that kid is what helped get the ball rolling.

We didn't have class today because we had a half day but we had class yesterday and we got into groups of four or five. We wrote a diary entry in the perspective of on of the people in a case in 1931ish i don't remember what its called but it was important. My group had Ruby Price if anyone knows what the case that she was in is.
