I learned some new perspectives that I hadn't otherwise considered. Though maybe not the perspectives that I necessarily agree with, they were new and I do appreciate that. It's always important to hear both sides of a conversation, especially when certain viewpoints are so underrepresented and rarely shown. I also learned about a few African American business owners, whom I'd never heard of prior to this.

Black History Month in America teaches us about the struggles and troubles of Black people in America. We learn about the injustices they faced, like slavery and segregation, and how they fought for equality through movements like the Civil Rights Movement. We also discover the cultural contributions of Black Americans in areas like music, art, literature, and sports. Despite facing obstacles, Black individuals have shown resilience and leadership,inspiring others and making significant achievements. Black History Month reminds us that the fight for racial equality is ongoing and encourages us to learn, understand, and support each other.

During the past week, I've learned what it took to gain equality for African Americans, and the different ways they acquired it. Martin Luther King Jr. for example, decided to promote peace and instead of using violence, think about the other point of view. MLK marched for equality, spoke for equality, and even went to jail for their rights. I also learned about the 7 African American students who attended school for the first time and brought a ton of controversy amongst them.

Something I learned that I didn't really know before was the impact Barack Obama made that gave so much Black People hope. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said that he paved the way of the Civil Right movement for black people 90 percent but there is still that 10 percent left and once Barack Obama became president people started to say he filled that 10 percent left. Now I understand why Barack Obama is so important to the Black community. Nobody believed that we would have a Black president. It was not easy but he did it. That is what I learned about the last week we spent studying about Black History month and why Black people make America so great.

As we learned about Black people in America, I have learned so many new things that I didn't know before about black people in America. One of the main things that I learned was that black people in America are not always treated the same because of the color of their skin. They sometimes don't get the same opportunities as other people do for example like white Americans. Although, many black people in America get treated differently, many of them have made a huge impact in America. For example, Rosa Parks had a huge impact for black people in America. She is best known for her pivotal role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. She showed other black people in America to stand up for themselves and what they believe in. Even though this is just one example of an individual who made a huge impact on black people in America, There are so many others that have made a great impact on black people in America as well.

I learned about how there was a misconception regarding what values black americans stride towards regarding political parties. The most interesting thing I learned is that when African Americans suffer the most consequences when being portrayed to hate the police or being anti government to a certian extent. In addition, the Uncle Tom video proposed factors such as when Obama became president most black americans supported him and his campaigns because in proportion he was black himself and that the democratic party offered government aid whether that was financial or a supportive notion for being black. However, I learned the history of the democratic party and just to summarize it all, they disliked black people. Even the KKK was involved in this party. But, when you look at things from a different perspective you can see that the Republican party were the ones who advocated for their rights and during these times promoted traditional values and to be off on your own to learn how and to be successful. That was one thing I took away and how I can apply it to my own life as well.

I learnt that many African-Americans get shamed by their own community for having republican beliefs. And i just learnt a lot about their separate views on politics through the film uncle tom and then that vice debate video. And whilst i was looking for people to put in my essay i had the opportunity to read up on some figures from the African-American community that have greatly changed the country we live in today. i think African-American contributions are really downplayed which is saddening but that is also something i learnt from the unit.

During the Black History Month assignments, I learned about numerous ways that Black people have contributed to America. In my research for the essay, I looked into the military history and contributions of African Americans. I learned all about the Tuskegee Airmen and their trailblazing efforts as America's first Black airmen in the military. Their contributions in WWII set a precedent and the beginning of equality in the U.S. military during a time of segregation and discrimination. I also learned all about other Black American educators and businessmen as well. The Black History assignment by Mr. Schneemann prompted me to do interesting research on how African Americans have made this country great through their bravery, courage, and resilience.

What I've learned about African Americans is how much they have significantly contributed to different parts of the United States from its origin up to its present state, and yet have been underrated to have adequate effects on America's political-economic systems. I learned that the civil rights movement was the first step to representing the true image America represents as it was promised to be a state where "all men are created equal" and shouldn't have the problem of discrimination towards a certain race. Though segregation towards African Americans still hasn't completely faded out of the country, at least the US is developing in the right direction when it comes to ethnic morals I think.

This past week while learning about Black History, we were told about all the struggles that black families faced and still encounter today. What I remember the most from the lessons we were taught was the interview video where republican and democratic people were put into a room and discussed the differences that they believe. Another thing I remember from the lesson was the video when they went to see the neighborhood where there were many black families who were at the lowest point where the only source of income for them was to sell drugs. The people in those homes said that if there was any other way of making money they would prefer to do that to support themselves, but the government makes it hard for them to find financially stable jobs. However this video was not only about black people, all families in the neighborhood were being kicked out of their homes and were expected to find a new area to live in.

What I have learned about black people in America is that they are not what they are portrayed most of the time. I want to emphasize that the black people of This nation teach us that anything is possible. I have realized that they stand out in almost every possible area and that they are not a victim. Society wants to make them believe that they are the victims, that they are poor and that they are the only ones with problems but the reality is that this nation has given them more than any other place in the world in my opinion. Based on the articles and videos that I have researched and analyzed, I can say that many black people have fallen into that lie of the victim but at the Same time many have begun to open their mind and see beyond it. An example of this are all the black Americans who are pro-conservatories or Republicans, and who know that Democrats have been anonymously behind many situations that hurt black people or any national situation that is related to this issue of racism. This concludes that maybe this racism doesn't exist and maybe people just want to believe that the problem exists when it doesn't. The proof that progress is in all those who have achieved their own success in one way or another in this country regardless of their skin tone.

This week I did not really learn new information about African Americans contributions to America because I already understood how beneficial they have been to our country. However, I did learn the names of African American people, who were big in different career fields, such as psychology, business, and medicine. Some of these people include Joseph White, Ruth Winefred Howard, and Olivia Hooker, which were great in the psychology field. In addition, some great black people I learned the names of in the medicine field include James McCune Smith, Patricia Bath, and Rebecca Lee Crumpler. Ultimately, African Americans have been helping and transforming our country in numerous ways, for centuries.

During the past week, I've learned what it took to gain equality for African Americans. Black History Month in America tells us to reflect on the struggles and troubles of Black people in America. We learn about the injustices they faced slavery, lynchings, segregation, and how they fought for equality such as the Civil Rights Movement. We also discover the cultural contributions of Black Americans in music, art, literature, science, and sports. Despite these obstacles, Black individuals have shown resilience and leadership making significant achievements. Black History Month reminds us that the fight for racial equality is still an ongoing battle and encourages us to learn, understand, and support each other.

I learned a lot from doing this assignment because it really broke down how African Americans are and were essential towards the making of U.S.A. When I researched the fields that African Americans were very successful and contributed a lot to America, such as Military, Business, and medicine it showed that African Americans contributed a lot. For an example in the war a unit that was made up predominantly African Americans, that was dubbed "The Harlem Hellfighters" carried the frontlines and the U.S to victory.

Slavery and Resistance: The history of Black people in America is rooted in slavery, which began in the early 17th century and lasted until the 19th century. Despite the harsh conditions, Black individuals resisted slavery through acts of rebellion, escape, and the formation of tight-knit communities. Abolitionism and the Underground Railroad: Black abolitionists, such as Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, played crucial roles in the fight against slavery. The Underground Railroad, a network of secret routes and safe houses, was established to help enslaved individuals escape to freedom.

I learned more about how Black people in America had made significant creations as well as impactful contributions that shaped American society today. Black history is rich and diverse, encompassing achievements, struggles, and resilience throughout the nation's history. I learned about the people that were the first to earn a medical degree, become a nurse, etc. as an African American person, discovered new African American entrepreneurs as well as ones I was familiar with, understanding to a better standard as to what they did and how they became so successful, and finally African American engineers and the inventions they made. For example, Garrett Morgan invented the traffic signal, and George Washington Carver made substantial advancements in agricultural science. There was also Dr. Charles Drew, a pioneer in blood transfusion research, and Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African American woman astronaut.

Last week, studying Black History allowed me to gain a better understanding of how Black People helped America and effected America. I learned alot when I did all of the research regarding medical leaders, business leaders, and scientific figures. I never knew that some of the major inventions that we used today were invented by them. It left me with an amazing feeling because it proves that it doesn't matter where you come from. No matter their background, anyone can do anything great if they continue to work hard for their goal. I'm glad that we focused a part of our time learning about Bllack History and all of the accomplishments they have achieved.

What I've learned about African Americans is how much they have significantly contributed to different parts of the United States from its origin up to its present state, and yet have been underrated to have adequate effects on America's political-economic systems. They sometimes don't get the same opportunities as other people do for example like white Americans. Although, many black people in America get treated differently, many of them have made a huge impact in America. For example, in military there have been many African American who have received the highest recognization being the Medal of Honor and many African Americans have helped advance studies in science.

I have learned about so many successful black people who have become legends in Business, Medicine, and Psychology, I wrote down the names of Black Women who have made big names for themselves such as Janice Bryant Howroyd who is the first African American woman to build and own a billion-dollar company that was started up in 1978 which was only 24 years after the civil rights movement, Janice Byrant Howroyd went through a lot while starting up her company as not only a women in business but a black woman at that too. For medicine, Dr.Rebecca Lee Crumpler was the first African American woman to become a doctor of medicine in the United States in the 1850s. In Psychology, Inez Beverly Prosser is often said to be the first African-American female to receive a Ph.D. in psychology as her work had influenced the Brown v Board of education supreme court ruling. I thank these African-American women for paving the way for women in general but especially for black women.

But to be completely honest I did not like the movie that we watched in class, I felt it was very biased.

In our study of Black history in America, we delved into the rich tapestry of contributions made by Black individuals that have shaped the nation's trajectory. From the arduous struggles against slavery and segregation to the pivotal roles in various fields such as science, literature, music, politics, and civil rights activism, Black Americans have played an indispensable role in shaping the identity and progress of the United States. From figures like Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, who fought for freedom and equality, to luminaries like Maya Angelou, who eloquently captured the essence of the human experience through her writing, and leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., who championed nonviolent resistance in the pursuit of justice, the enduring legacy of Black people in America is one of resilience, innovation, and social change.
