The 36th President didnt like the fact that the united states were trying to be divided he didnt want them to look at each other as being south & north, he want them to see that are one a united country. Person 3 Talks about how the president thinks that discrimation of color is a problem, I agree with this so much because I would rather people not like me for my morals and character than to dislike me because the color of my skin. Its crazy that in order for a born citizen to get their constitutional right back in this time period everything had to be writing in stone.
These Movements did help to gain more rights for citizens especially people of color but it didnt eraser the pain and all the deaths that came with it. Being an African American Young Woman reading different articles that talks about all the struggle that my people had to go through in order for me to achieve my goals, makes me happy but sad at the very same time because it shows how if something means that much to you , you would fight for it no matter what if the cost of it might be your life , I am proud so say that I am black.
This article made me think of the Black National Anthem http://http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-black-national-anthem-lyrics-james-weldon-johnson.html it was song writing to express how happy blacks were even though they went through so much in life.
