I want to grow up and be just like her. She takes no crap and tells it like it is. I may be kind of obsessed with her. She has been my favorite person to learn about this semester.

I have often wondered if i had been born before the Civil War and raised in the south. Would I have been like William Walling? I think YES of course, i would never have condoned something as evil as slavery.

This reminds me of how during the time of slavery it was illegal to teach a slave how to read. Education has aways been a key to success that white racist have wanted to keep on lock down.

I am surprised that she was even allowed to speak in front of the General assembly. It seems that if a woman at that time was not allowed to have have her own wages she would not be allowed to speak in such a formal setting as that in front of men. I am certainly […]
