Shomburg Museum and Library

First and foremost, i would like to say thanks to professor Jean-Marie and Porsha Childs for that beautiful project they put in place for us to expand our knowledge about our ancestors. In the meantime, i would like to state that it is a shame that African people had to suffer such atrocities to get here in America. One may argue i should not say anything if i cannot do anything about the situation. However, i do speak when i can to fellow classmates and others. I believe slavery was not right, but this happened along time ago. However, Jim Crow showed discrimination and fanned the flames of racism and hatred. Blacks like myself, will never be happy until blacks get paid reparations because their forefathers had been and still are treated with inhumane actions. When i went to the Schomburg Museum and Library, i was very excited to see the environment. However, it was not the way i expected it to be, because they do not have all the resources on display for people to see most of the cruelty. At the end i enjoyed the video that was shown, and i plan to go again, but next time, it will be without anyone.
