Reflection+Christian+Diversity


 * Reflection:

The "Diversity" wall that i created was a little timeline of what racism was like in the past and leading to the future where everything is now integrated. The first objective that i choose to put on my wall are lyrics to "What did i do to be so black and blue" by Louis Armstrong. It is a song about how blacks during the years of slavery and the years when blacks in America were fighting for equal rights. My favorite line is when he says "I'm white inside, but that don't help my case. 'Cause I can't hide what is on my face." This line to me gives a feeling that i believe all African Americans had while they were fighting for their equal rights. As i transition from segregation to integration i start off with examples of how racism has changed and how diverse we are as Americans. I start with the photo of two of the best rap artists during this generation Lil' Wayne and Eminem. They both recored a song called "Drop The World" which sold millions and is one of the most favorite songs around the world. I also was able to put a picture of President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. With these two pictures i was able to explain how well America has moved from racism. We now see that Americas are able to work with each other no matter what color skin they are. I was also able to get a photo of a elementary school in Washington D.C. that just started having white and black students in the same room working with each other. My last picture shows how the American sport baseball has transformed. We see how Americans are now more flexible with letting other cultures enter the game. This room shows the progress that Americans have made in the category of racism and because of that it has lead to America being more diverse and having different cultures all over the world being welcomed to America.
