Firstly, Mr. White reveals that he has experiences many obstacles in his life on his journey to success. However, his obstacles have been due to racial prejudice in society. It is disheartening that Mr. White was not given an equal chance to be successful. However, it appears that through his struggles he did not give up. Instead, he has used that struggle and it turned it into to passion for bettering society, so that others will not have to experience the same prejudice as he did. ]]> 2017-02-07 14:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ssmith005/70cj7n6qwils/wish/152145054 narindersingh https://padlet.com/ssmith005/70cj7n6qwils/wish/152147408 The ted talk by James A. White Sr. portrays our units theme of success in many ways. It shows how he overcame racial difficulties and was able to achieve his goal.

He refused to let racism and discrimination bring him down, and is now trying to better the world so that others do not have to experience what he did.]]> 2017-02-07 14:38:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ssmith005/70cj7n6qwils/wish/152147408 williamfetter https://padlet.com/ssmith005/70cj7n6qwils/wish/152147566 The TED talk relates to our theme of success because Mr White was faced with hardships (racism) all through out his life.
