1) On this field trip I learned many things about segregation. Most of it had to do with the children that went to the church on 16th street. I learned that the children were the ones that achieved civil rights and ended segregation for everyone. I also did not realize that Pink wrote a song called Mr. President.
2) Going to the museum was very interesting. I got to see the tank that Bull Conner drove. I also go to see what the class rooms of the white people looked like compared the the class rooms of the black people. It was much more memorable and emotional than just learning about it.
3) This experience did not change the way that I thought of the Civil Rights issue. I knew that it was a terrible and violent time in history.
4) The value of going to this sight is to show people who were not there what that time period is really like. I believe that people who think the civil rights issue is a waste of time do not fully understand what it was really like. Everyone should learn what happened in the 50's and 60's. This strip was worth taking because I was an experience I will never forget and it helped me see what it was like more so than I could from just watching a video, doing a project, or reading a textbook.
