Freedom Project

Yesterday we went to the Sunflower County Freedom Project. There we met kids that were black that were in an area where the school system is still segregated. We were broken into groups and answered some questions. Some questions were about books and how many you have. I know I have a lot of books, but in my room about 60+. One kid then said the only book in his house was his bible. I then felt guilty for having so many books. Also because I haven't read most of them I felt like that would have benefited more than me. Also I realize a lot of the were had a better work ethic than me with their situation. It caused me to want to work harder in school because I know I can do better. Aubriana Strickland, City College
