Claim: The most significant learning to me today was...
Evidence: For example (refer to 1 to 2 sources from today)....
Reasoning: This matters/Others should know about this because...]]> 2022-01-07 16:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1980803035 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981099500 Claim : When learning about our history of the founding fathers they don't talk about the bad that they do. 

Evidence: An example is Thomas Jefferson when learning about him they cut him out to be a good person never share his flaws. I learned from Clint Smith that TJ had a black mistress that said if she remained his mistress he would free her kids 

Reasoning:  My reasoning for that is its probably something you didn't know because you only learn the good never the bad when learning about TJ JM or GW


]]> 2022-01-07 19:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981099500 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981108310 claim: We are learing how the founding fathers arent as good as we think they are. How there decions and secerts are not all so true.

Evidence: Clint Smith said about tj outgoingly had a african -American mistress. Knowing -ly she said if countined being his mistress he would give freedom to her children.

Reasoning: My reasoning is your taught a lot of things but never the truth. There is a lot of graditude that people give but no one knows who they really are. Giving the proper learning we can identify a person and there history and learn the truth.]]> 2022-01-07 19:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981108310 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981124357 Claim: The most significant learning to me today was the history behind slavery and the secrets behind it.
Evidence: For example, Clint Thomas speaking about how U.S presidents are seen as good people but they really owned slaves and only one side of the story is being presented.
Reasoning: This others should know about this because slavery wasn't taught right and it makes it seem like there's something hidden that nobody wanted people to know to make them look better but its good to know where people came from.]]> 2022-01-07 19:59:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981124357 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981130278 Claim: When we as students learn about the history about the  founding father or the history of this country a lot of sources leave out the bad that some of these people were involved in.

Evidence: An example of this is when Clint smith is talking about the founding fathers he mentions all of the bad stuff they did and there violence and hate  towards people of color. Like when he talks about how Thomas Jefferson brought up the idea of the deceleration of independence but yet still had slaves.

Reasoning: This shows that people should be taught more in depth of the history of this country and when it comes to African Americans to know the full picture. ]]> 2022-01-07 20:04:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981130278 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981130845 Claim: We are learning about the significiance of founding ideologies and its connection to racism within the Constitution and American government.

Evidence: For example, Ida Bae Wells discussion how the foundational moments and movements that led to the creation of American was speicifically entertwined with the preservation of slavery.

Reasoning: Looking at all aspects of how the country developed from the very start is one from this perspective often neglected. How can one know where to go if the root issues are not even apparent, understanding that the perspective that is always heard is not one of understanding but of rewriting to encourage patriotism begins with knowing how we even got here. ]]> 2022-01-07 20:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981130845 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981131062 Claim: We are being taught about these "amazing" founding fathers who did all of these "wonderful" things for america and, what we aren't being taught about is all of the history around that and why there is not being any mention about black history or achievements at all. 
Evidence: The history that is being kept a secret from us is vital for part of U.S history, no one ever talks about how a ton of founding fathers and early presidents owned slaves and had these slave owner practices that we don't get to openly learn about in school.
Reasoning: I think that the american school system is trying their best to hide the history of many black americans and black achievements and names because they have a fear of the real truth coming out.  ]]> 2022-01-07 20:05:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981131062 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981131110 Claim: People who write history can be narrow minded and don't show the full picture.

Evidence: In the video "Our Country Would not Exist without Black People" Nikole Hannah-Jones talks about the amount of time she has spoken on history not tough in schools. When she brings up the history she states that the people she is talking to have never herd that side of history. 

Reasoning: Most schools see that this part of history is not as important and wants to talk more about our accomplishments. They don't want to show the scary side of history.]]> 2022-01-07 20:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981131110 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981131280 Claim: A lot of people in this country usually give credit to the wrong people, no credit is ever given to the African Americans for helping build this country. 

Evidence: In both videos they both talked about how white people were always given the credit and how in history a lot of people always try to twist the words or make it seem otherwise. When Clint talks about the history he mentions Jefferson and how when you think about Jefferson's genius don't forget the slaves that helped built the bookshelves in his library. 

Reasoning: With learning about this i've learned a lot about my history that i didn't know before. It shows how we're always put last, simply because of our color. ]]> 2022-01-07 20:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981131280 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981131620 Claim: I believe that the shaping of america wasn't bulit on freedom but rather built on the backs of others. All forms of oppression were used to create a "Free" Country

Evidence: Clint Thomas said," So when you remember Jefferson's genius, dont forget the slaves who built the bookshelves in his library

Reasoning: This quote really stood out to me because black people were seen as less and weren't reconginized for the things they did. The work they put in, the blood, the sweat, and tears shaped buildings, shaped railroads, shaped clothes just for there shape to not be recongnized. They stepped on the backs of others to climb to greater heights leaving African Americans to stay in the dark as a shadow of others accomplishments. Sorry not even a shadow just three fiftths of one.]]> 2022-01-07 20:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981131620 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981132129 Claim: Clint Smith's "Why We Shouldn't Forget that US Presidents Owned Slaves" and Nikole Hannah Jones' "Our Country Wouldn't Exist Without Black People" proved that there has been an erasure of certain "uncomfortable" elements in American history due to white supremacy and the need to uphold American exceptionalism.

Evidence: Thomas Jefferson and the backlash that Nikole Hannah Jones received after the 1619 project is perfect examples. 

Reasoning: As quoted by Smith, Jefferson is the "intellectual who came up with the outline for the Declaration of Independence" however he is also a slave owner who had children with a female slave that was at least half his age. People never seem to learn this within any American history class. The backlash that Nikole Hannah Jones received also shows how much America wants to keep these topics covered. "Slavery was a long time ago, get over it." is a phrase that she often hears, but what people fail to acknowledge is that slavery has had a lasting effect on African Americans for the past couple of centuries. The incessant need that (usually) white people have to dismiss black people bringing up the racial inequality shows that instant action of trying to cover it up. While you may acknowledge that slavery was a terrible thing that has a lasting effect on African Americans, you can easily ignore it. There must be actions taken to dismantle the system.]]> 2022-01-07 20:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981132129 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981132591 Claim:We are learning about the history of founding fathers and how they mistreated and didn't say anything about the bad they did.
Evidence:An example is when Clint smith named all of those who mistreated people and didn't give them freedom and didn't give them anything that could help them
Reasoning:My reason is they never really cared and always mistreated them and they don't want to show the bad and dirty they did throughout history ]]> 2022-01-07 20:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981132591 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981132606 Claim: The most significant learning to me today was the contributions of black Americans that go unlearned, unacknowledged, untaught, or unnoticed.

Evidence: For example, it goes frequently unacknowledged the contributions of black Americans to the creation and backbone of America. Case in point, democracy, democracy in America was created and upheld by black people. White men might have created the constitution to exclude everyone but them but black people have fought to make it for everyone.

Reasoning: This matters because the contributions of black people should be more recognized and celebrated.]]> 2022-01-07 20:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981132606 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981132794 Claim: we're learning about how the history of the founding fathers isn't as patriotic as it seem and how we don't talk about the bad parts of history they carry 
 Evidence : Clint smith portrayed through spoken poetry that when we think about the founding fathers we don't think about how they used to own slaves and how many fighting soldiers were immediately put into cotton fields after battle 
Reasoning 
That piece of evidence is significant because it shows that the history of slavery has been rooted back until the start of our country and its taken a long time to get out of those ways    ]]> 2022-01-07 20:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981132794 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981133041 E. Clint Smith spoke about how many soldiers of color were sent right back to the plantation after the Revolutionary War, and how some African-American soldiers fought for the British, because at least they were honest in their intentions. He spoke about how for years on end we have been not been taught about the true history and basis America was founded on. We only hear one side of the story so we must question, who is the author?

R. Others should know about this because if we are not taught the true history of America, how can we confidently progress forward as a nation? We have so many people who have no clue about the origins of this country, because it simply wasn't taught. It must be taught so we can move forward as a united country, rather than a divided people with prejudice towards one another. If we aren't taught our history, we are doomed to repeat it in some way, shape, or form.]]> 2022-01-07 20:07:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981133041 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981134115 C:  The most significant learning about today is how all these secrets were kept from so many people from these so called leaders that when the secrets came out it was an eye opener.

E: Ida Bells Wells said people were attacking her project and finding was to tear her down because she was putting information out there that people didn't like or didn't agree with.

R: This shows people how not everything you hear is the truth and there is secrets behind many things, and that everybody is not treated in that same careful matter.]]> 2022-01-07 20:07:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981134115 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981134257 Claim: We are learning how the founding fathers have always been seen as good and made huge changes to help society. But really have contributed to bad situations that have occurred in our history and even today.


Evidence: Nikole Hannah saying how the founding fathers had written all these laws or the constitution but only really meant for those to be applied to certain people and not everyone like African Americans.


Reasoning: This shows that many kids even adults have been taught to only see the good things that have occurred in the past and the terrible things have been pushed to the side to look as if they weren't important. This means how African Americans and slavery were looked upon as little and was just something that occurred in the past. But really slavery has impacted the world until this day when it comes to equality and racism.]]> 2022-01-07 20:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981134257 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981135585 Claim: The most significant learning to me today was how there is many things we don't get taught about slavery and many things we don't know about. 
Evidence: Nikole Hannah- Jones talks about how the project can be very empowering specially for African Americans. 
Reasoning: Others should know about this because many people dont know about all this and many people can be racist. people shouldn't be discriminated just for the color of their skin. people shouldn't feel bigger then others. ]]> 2022-01-07 20:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981135585 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981136652 Clam: we are learning that in the past everyone as our founding fathers were not this so called "good people,"

Evidence:  an explain is when they were talking about the bad things that they have done and how it was took out about being talked about.

Reasoning: that they never cared about having slaves and that they just thought they were just a tools but then how they didn't put their own people out there. ]]> 2022-01-07 20:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981136652 donovanb4936 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981161921 Claim:The most significant learning to me today was how much information and truth about our founding fathers was left out to only portray the 'good' things that they for out country. 
Evidence: For example, in Clint Smiths poem about our founding fathers, he explains that even George Washington owned slaves, and that Thomas Jefferson once declared that African Americans only counted as 3/5 of a person.
Reasoning: Others should know this because people are being told tainted information on the people that worked to build our country. That while the fundamentals of this country were being created, the creators were partaking in actions that contradicted the words that they wrote by taking the humanity of the Black people that were brought here against their will. Even after having black people fight in our wars, those that survived were then sent back to be enslaved to those in power. ]]> 2022-01-07 20:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981161921 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981440171 I would say the most meaningful thing is the details in history. because without the history there would be no future and how we act in society ]]> 2022-01-08 04:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1981440171 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1982020718 Claim:The most significant learning today was seeing that our found fathers were not good people.
Evidence: An example would be Nikkole Hannah stating how the founding fathers written the constitution for only it to be applied to certain people and not African Americans.
Reasoning: this shows how people are only shown the good things from the past and not shown the unjust of the ¨good people¨]]> 2022-01-09 03:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1982020718 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1982842084 Claim: We were learning how our founding fathers were helping our society and making the world a better place.


Evidence: Nikole Hannah was saying how the founding fathers weren't bad people and how they contributed on the written laws of society.



Reasoning: This shows that there is a many good founding fathers out there and that society wouldn't be like how it is today,it the change in society

]]> 2022-01-10 01:32:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1982842084 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1984963008 Claim: The most significant learning to me was that our founding father did there best to make the world safe and they left some bad things out that people were involved with.
Evidence: Nikole Hannah was talking about these laws that were made for the world but he wasn't saying that it was for the African Americans. 
Reasoning: This shows that the people out there in this world cant always be nice and they don't really know about this and they could be racist and talk about there skin color. No one in this world should be disrespectful to another and someone that isn't there skin color.]]> 2022-01-11 00:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1984963008 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1986045198 claim: the most significant learning more about African america culture.
Evidence: Nikole Hannah about the laws but were'n for African Americans.
reasoning; i think that people look at us as we are and judge that, and much more if you are someone of color, they are standards for them and it does not seem to me that they only judge us by skin color.]]> 2022-01-11 13:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1986045198 https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1988980025 Claim: In schools they don´t teach about the bad the founding fathers did.

Evidence: Clint Smith talked about how schools only teach one side of the story. They make them seem like good people yet they owned slaves and showed hatred towards people of color.

Reasoning: People often neglect to talk about the negative parts of history. Slavery is often looked upon as a thing of the past. And they se excuses that slavery doesn´t happen today. This shows that people need to be taught more in-depth and need to be properly educated on history.]]> 2022-01-12 19:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sswesterdale/p59jk8md5b22fiuo/wish/1988980025
