A difference


The International Civil Rights Museum was different from others that I have been to. I found it interesting how some of the rooms were designed so that you could feel how the blacks felt when they had to endure what they went  through when they were traveling. There were significant differences in the waiting rooms, trains and even buses. We were in rooms that got hot fast and rooms that were small and everyone had to squeeze in, and this made me feel angry and uncomfortable and for anyone to go through that is belittling.I also learned different ways they segregated.I learned things from how black workers didn't have name tags to how the white waiting room prices were cheaper than the blacks. I learned about a man named Dr. George Evans who I never about.He was the first African American to integrate a hospital.
