African American Voices

Children I hope you enjoyed the speeches that I selected for you.  I know that some of what you heard may have been difficult to understand, but I want you to try and respond to some of what these important people had to say.

So what you are to do is to pick one person or speech and write about something that you thought was interesting, that you agree with in their speeches.  Also, think about something you do not agree with and then say why you do not agree with it.  IT'S REALLY EASY TO JUST SAY "BECAUSE' , so think about it before you write.

So you will write your responses here on line in the blog so that others may read what you
have written and respond to it.  Let me know if you have any questions.

I thought the speech by Opray Winfrey was interesting. It was cool how she admired Rosa PArks and how she thought about her. Did anyone else think so?

Umm... I thought that Oprah was OK but It was a little long in my opinion, and the Marther Luther King OK too.

I liked the Barak Obama speech and the Oprah Winfrey speech about Rosa Parks. The only problem about the Obama speech was that he was a little unclear, while Oprah(!) was very clear.
