Today January 20 2014, Martin Luther King Jr., we have done a lot. We started our day in Selma, Alabama. We spent our morning in Selma with Ms.Joanne "Ma'am" Bland. While being in her presence we did many activities. The activity that we as a group did that really touched my heart was was when we picked up the rocks near the playground and she said that each rock was a rock from somebody who participated in the walk across the Edmund Pettus bridge. This really touched my heart by how she took us on the tour and made us reenact the history, which I believe is the best way or learning history. After we did this we went back to a church and listened to people talk about there experiences with crossing the bridge back in the day. After this we drove to to Montgomery, Alabama and learned about Dexter Ave. My biggest take away from the day I learned was that we are all apart of history and that we all have a role to play.
