African Americans in the 1900's were constantly asking for equal rights to vote and constantly fighting for their rights .Such as going on a bus and being asked to move to the back and  certain restaurants not wanting to take colored people and serve them .Which also includes being judged based on a certain hairstyle and skin tone. Including the damage Covid 19 did to everyone which caused everyone lose their jobs .]]> 2022-12-09 22:28:50 UTC https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416093080 Information beautyqueen1234510 https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416100388 Feel free to click this link and read more !]]> 2022-12-09 22:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416100388 What is it like to be African American ? beautyqueen1234510 https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416102970 To be an African American life is constantly hard because of a certain way of living and a certain skin color African Americans have . Back in the day  a huge thing existed by the name Slavery ( When a person is owned by another person ). African Americans were considered owned by another race . Slaves were beaten , raped , killed , and disowned . African Americans have struggled for over more than 100 years for there freedom and still do to this day .]]> 2022-12-09 22:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416102970 beautyqueen1234510 https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416103393 2022-12-09 22:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416103393 Remember the trend #BlackLives Matter beautyqueen1234510 https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416106041 10 Facts!

The aspects that I found most interesting were mainly the articles they  each had a different intake on the American dream. Each resource gave a story and an example of how African Americans were judged and based on other people's opinions . I found it most interesting how non colored people found a way to always shut down black businesses and other colored people shops. Another point that caught my attention was the amount of deaths and incidents involving the black community.  The last thing I found interesting was the American dream after covid 19 hit . Covid 19 was the year where a virus made over a ton of people lose their jobs and homes . The main point of the American dream is to have wealth but how could people have wealth without a job or freedom .

This area of my project focused mainly on the damages and how some particular colored people didn't really have a chance at life . In the article "There Is No A Black Man " by Kamga Tchassa the writer talks about how he wanted to leave his hometown to pursue his own education . He mainly talked about the power and belief of hustling for colored people and another benefit of being born privileged and not having to deal with being black .Kamga also talks about the lack of his education and lack of street knowledge For example he states that he " wish they’d hammered on the necessity of learning how to drive before I left Cameroon because it would be arduous to take the bus, and expensive to use Uber." This is a prime example on how black kids were never taught good knowledge and street smarts .

This is a major topic because education was the only way to get a job to be a part of the american dream . Without education it showed a primary example that they wouldn't be able to get a house , wife , kids ,and money or simply anything added to their name .One image that really spoke out to me was a photo I saw on one of the articles which showed a homeless person after he lost his job due to the lack of covid 19 money paybacks . This was a major deal in the world and a major aspect which left most people homeless and broke . With this research it relates to the topic because it studies that fact no matter what color , what job , or where you're from everyone wants one thing: wealth. ]]> 2022-12-09 23:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416110838 Watch beautyqueen1234510 https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416111296 2022-12-09 23:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416111296 Music Started to be created beautyqueen1234510 https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416111587 2022-12-09 23:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416111587 Example beautyqueen1234510 https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416113271 2022-12-09 23:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416113271 beautyqueen1234510 https://padlet.com/beautyqueen1234510/ci470zy7rgui59jn/wish/2416113556 Magazine, Smithsonian. “The Original Meanings of the ‘American Dream’ and ‘America First’ Were Starkly Different from How We Use Them Today.” Smithsonian.com, Smithsonian Institution, 1 Oct. 2018, https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/behold-america-american-dream-slogan-book-sarah-churchwell-180970311/.

I felt that this project tested me more on being able to research certain topics and certain details with learning how to combine the topic into one . I felt that personally it was easier to do because we already focus on this topic a lot in class . I was able to use some of the discussion answers and add into my explanation  all in one.
This topic was easy to talk about also because I already knew a lot of information . I also felt it was easier to discuss .I  learned the difference between already having the American dream and having to earn it due to the color and based on where you are from which I still think isn't right . I also learned that the covid -19 will forever have a major impact on some people which made them homeless today and not able to get a job due to the lack of knowledge . Which also caused a huge outbreak of students to drop out of school .
