Today meeting Rosco Jones was amazing! He has
been my favorite speaker so far. He gave us the truth and I don't feel like he
sugarcoated anything. He was funny but serious also. I felt that he has been
the most inspirational. I like his view on how he explained the moment was
about the teenagers and how he felt like the youth don't and didn't get
recognition. I'm glad he touched on that because I feel the same way. I feel
like yes MLK and others did have a big impact on the movement but they weren't
the only ones. Martin Luther King Jr. has many statues all over but you don't
see the many “foot soldiers” honored for what they did and everyday citizens
who sacrificed so much. I’m so grateful to have point of views from people that
was actually there in the movement or I would have never knew any of these
things. Things we've learned so far really put you in a state of confusion of
what can I do and I'm thankful for that.
