Refer back to the questions in the powerpoint and fill out the Padlet board en-us 2020-11-02 02:44:30 UTC 2020-11-05 21:40:48 UTC hello@padlet.com rschemma https://padlet.com/tlwill29/px1o5n87u9vdpeak/wish/895781217 1.  We learned about the Royal Ice Cream Sit-In. In history classes, we were taught heavily about the Greensboro Sit-In, March on Washington, etc. However, the Royal Ice Cream wasn't as prevalent in our classes as it should have been. It seemed like more of a homegrown event unlike the Greensboro Sit-In which was coordinated by a student run organization. It was interesting to learn about a this significant event in history that is not discussed enough. 

2. It was surprising to know that individuals simply sitting at a diner was such a big issue. The treatment of African Americans during this time period was so inhumane and unjust, and it was shocking to read the given material that detailed these encounters. 

3. The value of this work is the knowledge and the awareness that reading and listening to the event does not even compare to being present during these times. The primary purpose of recounting history is to ensure that negative events do not repeat themselves; there is value in learning about the wrongdoings of our nation so that we can improve our society constantly. 

4. The great impact is the awareness and the emotional response to how poorly Black Americans were treated. Given the current political climate and the social justice movements that have been taking place over the last several months, experiencing this speech was a great reminder of the strides our country made to combat racism; pedaling back into that nature would be dangerous, and the reminder of our past history is beneficial in that regard. ]]> 2020-11-05 20:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tlwill29/px1o5n87u9vdpeak/wish/895781217 https://padlet.com/tlwill29/px1o5n87u9vdpeak/wish/895795702 1.  We learned about sit-ins such as the Royal Ice Cream Sit-In and the Greensboro Sit-In as well as other small events throughout the Civil Rights Movement that contributed to the overall success of the movement. We were surprised how big of an impact college students had on the movement which is what prompted MLK to come here.

2. It was surprising how content some people were with the unethical way African Americans were being treated during this time and made hardly any attempts to fight against violence and discrimination. 

3. The value of this work is the possibility to reach such a large audience being an online resource as well as giving us the ability to reflect and learn about events during the Civil Rights Movement. The purpose of this resource is to educate people on the history and show how big of an impact small acts of protest can have on a bigger movement/end result. Additionally, this can help prevent similar events from occurring in the future and allow us to reflect on our mistakes.

4. Listening to the speech had the biggest impact on us as a group. Reading the speech is one thing, but hearing it being recited with such passion gave the speech a deeper meaning. The speech audio definitely had an emotional appeal to listeners because of the tone of the speaker's voice as well as the inhumane ways he described the treatment of African Americans at this time.]]> 2020-11-05 20:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tlwill29/px1o5n87u9vdpeak/wish/895795702 plbulala https://padlet.com/tlwill29/px1o5n87u9vdpeak/wish/895800292 1. We discussed a couple of new things about the Civil Rights Movement, and a lot of us were shocked at how the proximity of the cities where such impactful protests occurred, and a few of us knew about the Greensboro Sit-In, but the majority of us didn't know that the Durham Royal Ice Cream sit-in even happened and we were surprised that it had a peaceful outcome as well. 

2. One impactful scene that took us by surprise is how brave these activists were, and how not much older they were from us. It was such a show of bravery for such young people. Rosemary brought up the part in the documentary where the activist replied back to the police officer that if she were his daughter, she wouldn't be in that position fighting for her rights, because she is white, and we agreed that this was a really influential part of the documentary. 

3. The VR of MLK kind of caught us off guard at first, but we realized how much impact this could have of future analysis of different historical moments. Another concern we had is improving the VR technology to encompass even more immersive situations. 

4. One way that we have been impacted by this speech is how powerful VR can be in analyzing this historical moment. We also discussed how impactful it can be to immerse ourselves in this VR because it feels like such a distant time when it was all occurring, but this helps us to realize just how powerful that moment was. ]]> 2020-11-05 20:29:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tlwill29/px1o5n87u9vdpeak/wish/895800292 clericks https://padlet.com/tlwill29/px1o5n87u9vdpeak/wish/895882613 1) I learned about a local Civil Rights Movement sit in. I think it's very important to learn about smaller sit in and speeches that add to the movement as a whole. I learned that Martin Luther King Jr advocated for direct action for segregation inthe south for he first time in Durham!
2) Something that took me by surprise was that our school NCSU was so involved in the whole project. I would have thought that I'd heard of this in the past, but it was my first time hearing about it. I like the fact that they focused on making the audience feel like they were there during the speech.
3)  It was very motivational- all the smaller gatherings in smaller towns are not talked about as much as the congregation in D.C., Durham being so close to us makes it seem more real- especially with the cool audio projection that really makes you feel like you were at the speech that day. The recreation is very valuable because no one filmed, recorded, or took photos of the speech in the church in Durham the day it happened so this is all we have now.
4) This speech and the recreation of it impacted me by proving how powerful a speech can be and how speeches can bring people together and motivate them for a specific cause.]]> 2020-11-05 20:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tlwill29/px1o5n87u9vdpeak/wish/895882613
