Classroom Post 31

Wednesday, February 27, 2013

So for the past few days in class we've started on the Civil Rights movements. We've looked at the different views of black activists, like W. E. B. something and another guy whose name I don't remember. The other guy believed that blacks should start from the bottom and work their way up to earn the respect and equality and W. E. B. wanted instant equality. We talked about Garvey, who organized a black association which believed that all blacks should return to Africa, and we read poems about the "Great Migration" of blacks to the Northern cities.

So for the past few days in class we've been discussing how the Reconstruction's been going, focusing on Andrew Johnson's presidency, the Jim Crow laws, and we took a lot of notes on the KKK and their impacts on the country at the time.
I've been really sick lately, so sorry if I haven't been that active in class. I'm awake and listening, even if my head's down, so thank you Mr. Boyle for letting me put my head down for a little bit. I did listen and remain awake the whole time.
