Education
"A college degree, for many, can represent a multitude of feelings and events, but most commonly, sacrifice" (Gonzales). My whole life I have heard it said that education requires sacrifices. In the speech by the first lady Mrs. Obama at Bowie State University Commencement Ceremony, she claims that for African Americans education requires sacrifice and obligations to encourage others to get educated. She begins her speech by saying that during slavery African Americans were unable to get an education. When the Emancipation Proclamation was signed a school was founded so that African Americans could educate themselves and others. However, many people refuse to accept freedom for African Americans and they faced constant threats. Ruby
