Yesterday we started off with our first class by looking at a picture of a long line of people standing in front of the national archives as they celebrated the 150th anniversary or the Emancipation Proclamation. Our class then discussed whether it was really worth being celebrated that much and we decided it definitely was. we came to the conclusion that you can believe in what you want to believe in and support what you want to support. Today we started off class by looking at a picture of the Robert Gould Shaw Memorial that is in the Boston Common in our very own capital. I've been to the commons many times and hadn't noticed it so ill be sure to look closer the next time I am there. We then went into discussion about how it was the 54th Regiment Memorial which commemorated the first group of all African Americans to fight in the Civil War. We then took notes and watched a video to wrap up the lesson.
