"America I Am"

We think the title "America I Am" means that we are americans. After viewing the "America I Am" exhibit we thought that black history is very important. We thought this because if the people back in the day did not fight then we would not have the equal rights that we have now. One object that affected us was the alpha kappa alpha jacket. This jacket represents one of the things black people couldn't do because of segregation. Also black people fought for rights on the train and equal rights. One case that gave black people some rights was Plessy v. Ferguson. A quote from the case was "Seperate But Equal".
