1. Where did you go? What day and time of day was it? Who was with you or were you alone?
My friend Bria and I visited the Civil Rights exhibit at Missouri’s History Museum on a Friday evening at 1 pm.
2. Write about your physical and emotional experience of being in the space you were in? What meaning did you make of this at the time and now looking back on the experience?

Emotionally I was angry, annoyed and surprised at how much I learned while there, It bothered me how it was so much stuff that happened in Saint Louis that I didn’t learn in high school. It’s like they taught us the worldly know Civil Rights events but not the events that happened right in our backyards. I was also annoyed with the fact that the events were as recent as the 1970’s So for some people to wonder why black people are still angry and think that racism is not still alive are the fouls and the reason why racism is still alive today. Looking back I’ve noticed that I always get mad when I hear about how unjust black people are treated. Just because black is not slaves doesn't matter because we still are not free and it’s annoying how some people don’t get that. …show more content…
What was most interesting or surprising part about how you felt (physical, emotional) in the space?
The most interesting part about how I felt is that my friend Bria felt the same way. We both went to the same high school but were in different history classes. So we never discussed our history together before. But she was pointing out facts and agreeing with me through the whole exhibit. It just helped me feel normal and understood and that I’m not just overreacting. I can come on strong at times when expressing my opinions on race but she understood
