Black History Month by Casey https://padlet.com/casey_cowherd/jvlzmwirkfoi Made with a lightning strike of genius en-us 2017-02-07 23:18:04 UTC 2017-05-17 08:46:52 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Doubleheart.png In honor of Black History Month (February), please respond to the quote below... "We're the slaves who quarried the stone to build this White House; the soldiers who fought for our nation's independence, who fought to hold this union together, who fought for freedom of others around the world. We're the scientists and inventors who helped unleash American innovation. We stand on the shoulders not only of the giants in this room, but also countless, nameless heroes who marched for equality and justice for all of us. Down through the decades, African American culture has profoundly shaped American culture -- in music and art, literature and sports." "But Black History Month shouldn't be treated as though it is somehow separate from our collective American history or somehow just boiled down to a compilation of greatest hits from the March on Washington, or from some of our sports heroes. There are well-meaning attempts to do that all around us, from classrooms to corporate ad campaigns. But we know that this should be more than just a commemoration of particular events. It's about the lived, shared experience of all African Americans, high and low, famous and obscure, and how those experiences have shaped and challenged and ultimately strengthened America. It's about taking an unvarnished look at the past so we can create a better future. It's a reminder of where we as a country have been so that we know where we need to go." -President Barack Obama in February 2016 casey_cowherd https://padlet.com/casey_cowherd/jvlzmwirkfoi/wish/152327465 2017-02-07 23:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/casey_cowherd/jvlzmwirkfoi/wish/152327465 response https://padlet.com/casey_cowherd/jvlzmwirkfoi/wish/152415974 African Americans helped shape our country in many different such has fighting in wars. But, what  we have learned from the past will help us in the future. Also, not just famous African Americans should be recognized this month but the people that we see every day. ]]> 2017-02-08 11:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/casey_cowherd/jvlzmwirkfoi/wish/152415974 I think what Barack Obama is trying to say in this quote is that slavery times are over and this month should be included with American celebration. https://padlet.com/casey_cowherd/jvlzmwirkfoi/wish/152446376 -Avery K.

I agree with Brewer that we should respect all the men and women who suffered with slavery.

I also agree with Keya about how black men and women have  done a lot for our country and have made so many things possible, we should respect that.
