Concordia Presentation Report

Decent Essays
From the presentation Mrs.Holins gave, I've learned a lot about concordia college. I learned that Concordia is the first Lutheran college. Concordia actually was started as a small bam in rosebud,Alabama. Rosa started the first African American Lutheran school. Rosa opened her school in 1912 in a barn. Her school was was going to get shut down so she had to call bakke,a preacher to help her establish some thing and get her school started in a few other things in a place. Rosa started Concordia to help get the same education. She had the chance to get, also learn the gospel just as she had.

After Listening to the presentation, I had serval surprised moments, the first being when I went to rose bid to see my teammate sing in to walk in the actual building that

I was just amazed when I was at the church in rosebud. It had had pictures all over it. And just certain things such as desk,tables,and etc. That were in the original school. Many of the people their though of the place as normal but little did they know much fight it took for them to be in that building so full of history I would have thought building would be an exhibit that shows how much black history is underrated. I wanted to go back and show others but I wouldn't think people who be interested in history as I am. Just as rosa worked hard this makes me want to appreciate Concordia more because we often complain about this and that in the school but someone worked hard to get the school here and I want to appreciate and respect that.see how much she worked towards her goal of being a teacher makes me want to set my goals even higher and shoot even higher than what I set because she is the perfect example of when you want something go for it and never give

    The first stop on that path was Bible College. At the age of 20 she enrolled in Philadelphia College of Bible. During college her mind stayed focused on the “group of brown-skinned people in a jungle.” After she graduated she applied to be a missionary, but was turned down because of her weak back. She was angry about that decision, until she thought that maybe the reason that she was declined was because God was still preparing her people for her.…

    Nettie Wild Analysis

    • 599 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Nettie Wild’s intellectually provocative composition, titled Uninterrupted, is a stunning representation of the essentiality and effectivity of moving images. Projected as large-scale images, the spectacle utilizes the pillars and underside of Vancouver’s Cambie Street Bridge as its film screen to exemplify the major disconnect between our city and the river habitat below. Uninterrupted- comprised of vivid illustrations and breathtaking scores composed by Owen Belton- demonstrates the impact of human existence on the complex sockeye salmon endeavor . The twenty-five minute array (which displayed nightly Tuesday through Saturday at nine o’clock, from June 28th to September 24th) focuses on these moving images within the intimate outdoor setting as the primary visual stimulation of the installation. Though two dimensional by nature, the specificity and attention to details within the installation creates the illusion that the audience is beneath the surface of the water, viewing the installation from the river bed.…

    Stax Museum Reflection

    I don’t know how the wonderful music history of Memphis pass me by but somehow It did! I have always heard that Memphis is known for its music history, especially the blues, but I never investigated the theory for myself. The instructor at the college challenged me to write a paper about the history of the Stax Museum in a reflection paper and I am really glad she did. It influenced me to finally take the time to view the history of Memphis firsthand starting with the Stax Museum. The research, museum, and the informative information my teacher taught in class helped me to learn the original name of the company, showed me the good and bad experiences with the company, taught me the meaning of music terms in the music company and lead me to…

    An Exercise in Embarrassment A few years ago, over Spring break I went on a week-long vacation to Washington DC with my family. This included, my mother, father, sister and my mother’s sister and brother along with their respective families. Over a period of four days we walked over sixty miles and I got to visit some of the most extraordinary places I could ever imagine. Standing at the proverbial head of the table was the Lincoln Memorial, a magnificent cross section of history and reverence with a dash of classical architecture for good measure.…

    9/11 Exhibition Analysis

    Both exhibitions we were encouraged to see, the “1966” exhibit and the 9/11 gallery, were striking. Each exhibit offered a variety of historical artifacts, documents and viewpoints. However, the most important and notable difference was contrast between events that occurred 15 and 50 years ago. It is interesting to note how each exhibition is staged based on the perceived temporal difference we have with these two distinct events. I felt as though the “Civil Rights at 50” exhibition was comprehensive and immersive, while the 9/11 memorial was like a wound still healing.…

    Further Investigation Assignment African American history is deeply rooted in American history and it was because of certain civil rights leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Fredrick Douglass, W.E.B Dubois, Malcom X and many more that changed the way African Americans viewed themselves and paved the way for African Americans to live their lives up to their full potential. While, visiting the National King Memorial Park, I learned that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr advocated for civil rights and equality for blacks as well as was using nonviolent methods to change the world. I enjoyed going to the National King Memorial Park, because while looking around in the gallery of pictures I discovered that the protests during the 1960s it played a major role to the black community in a way for their voices to be…

    My visit to the Black Archives was truly an interesting experience. It was interesting to view some of the objects on display in the “Koons, Komics, and Klan” room in the museum. The room had a lot of pictures and historical artifacts that depicted stereotypes and biases about the African-American race. Even though there were a plethora of stereotypical objects to choose from, the life size Klansmen standing in the corner of the room holding a lynch rope caught my attention first. Whenever I read about the Ku Klux Klan, I realize that the terrorizing acts of the organization were always against the African-American race.…

    Often, women walk down the beauty aisle of a department and grocery stores and see all types of merchandise for their hair, but not many know what the products are right for them. They see products that promise to rejuvenate dry, damaged hair; volumize limp, flat hair; straighten curly hair, and regenerate thinning hair. With my hair being a kinky curl, when I was younger, I would ask my mother if we could buy relaxers and apply them at home. She would give me the same answer every time, “This should only be performed by a professional if you do not want to ruin your hair.”…

    Learning about the African American culture and what quilting means to them, is something cool. It’s kind of a shame that quilting isn’t big anymore. I honestly thing learning how to quilt would be something so cool to do! Not only would you be able to say “hey I made that,” but it would be something valuable too. It’s cool how somebody is so into the history of African Americans and the history of quilting that they make a museum out of it, to show people how amazing different cultures really are, to learn about what their values were, and what they did during World War I also, to raise money and to support the…

    This past Saturday, I went to deaf awareness day at White Bear Lake High school. I had been eyeballing the event for some time since it seemed like a good way to see what the Deaf community is like on a larger scale than a single theater performance or game. I drove with Beth, and we ended up bumping into additional classmates on our way into the event. The six of us spent our time walking around to the many booths and asking questions as we went. I was surprised by the variety of presenters.…
