A quote that stood out to me in the film Selma by Ara Du Vernay, was when Martin Luther King Jr said “segregation is now an illegal act.” That quote stood out to me because it shows how racism was bad back in the days. It showed how white Americans didn’t like colored people and how colored people weren’t allowed to enter the building to vote.

Voter suppression is still going on around the world till this day.  I personally feel like it’s not fair to discriminate people based on their skin color and race, everyone should have the right to vote if they’re an American citizen. Every vote counts and so the more votes the better because we would all want to have someone who we can agree on to help change the world and make it better for right now and for the future.

In the article An Open Letter to John Lewis from Margaret Renkl wrote an open letter about Bloody Sunday and how that day was so horrible. A quote that stood out to me was “your sacrifice will always be remembered.” It stood out to me because it’s important people who marched risked their lives, they were brutally beaten by Alabama forces with billy clubs, tear gas, and getting whipped. The marchers still did everything just to make a change for the community and they did by sacrificing their lives just for in the future people with color can also have the same rights as others.

 

how terrible that day was.

I’ve been sleeping a lot because we are  in quarantine, I’ve been eating alot also and just been on my phone. I wake up around 12-1 like very late in the morning. I have not been able to exercise like that because I get bored working out by myself and start lacking. My goal through this quarantine is to at least not do the same thing everyday and to keep myself active.

After days of doing missed work in my second period class, I am glad to say I have finally finished everything. It took me a long while. But, it finally got done. I still have a few tests I must take. So, there was a specific date I had to choose to do this test on. So, I chose to do it on Wednesday the 29th as it was the only day that the tests were actually opened and not taken.
