The Watsons Go to Birmingham

September 16, 1963woods

Hey, wat up guys my name is Kenny watson and im going to tell you about a trip to birmingham here I go. It was the last day for Byron in flint for the summer or for the rest of the school year. Well we was all packing up the trunk. Then we got in the car and then momma started going down a list she made in her journal. It sounded like she was working on this very hard because she was saying when we was going to stop and where was going to stop. Also because she was calculating what time we was going to stop. Byron was trying to cut on me so I cut on him back and he was trying hit me but dad said cut it out. He gave me i'll kill you later look. Joey was sleeping on us had her head on my leg. I fell aspleep then when I woke up I felt somthing wet on my pants but it was just Joey drueling on my leg. We stopped at somwhere. This place was dark and scary and it didnt have any bathroom and me and By had to go the bathroom. So we went in the woods to use the bathroom. Then he ran I was so scared I ran behind him and tripped it was wet coming down my pants but I didnt care having little pee in my pants. We got in the car and left. When we got to Birmingham it looked very nice we got to grandma sands house we all said hi and put our bags down. We met grandma sands new boyfriend Mr.Roberts. I have no idea when people talking about civil rights. I feel so happy to be here with my grandma sands. I see grandma sands and momma talking at the table. I have questions to ask. My questions are to grandma sands how is life here and what is civil rights.

I think high school is different from middle school because high school is hard. In high school you have more responsibility. Yes because middle school help you learn responsibility. I want to know is high school better than middle school.

"African Burial Ground"

Slavery ended in new york in the 1700's. The people who was buried in the african burial groundwas little kids. The reason why they was buried in the african burial ground was because they was worked to death. The role that blacks played was the early New York city. Two questions I would ask is why did those people work those children to death. An other question is did Dr. Wilson complete mission. The African Burial Ground is about a woman that has a mission to correct the popular misconception that slavery existed only in the south and not in New york city in the 1700's. The woman name is Sherril D.wilson. But people call her Dr.Wilson. She was paid by the federal government to educate the public about the restoration of the "African Burial Ground". Dr.wilson said that"they have people that say the holocaust did not happen." She also said that "there are people who try to pat slavery into a neat package as something that only happen south of the mason-Dixon line." I repeated what she said because she said that people said that the holocaust did not happen and it did and it's important to know that kind of stuff.
