Today

Today was very educational and a very fun learning environment. We are now in Philadelphia and we visited the Constitution Center, where they talked mainly about the Constitution and what some presidents did during that time of the Constitution. Next we went to the African American Art Musuem where we visited many different exhibits. But the one that stood out more to me was the exhibit, which was titled “Audacious Freedom.” This specific exhibit stood out more because if you look at the title it has a very meaningful name. In the title it says FREEDOM, and when you think of freedom you think of back in the times African Americans and whites were segregated and slavery was taking place and the next word is AUDACIOUS. Audacious means risky or doing things that you know may cause you a heap of trouble or the possible effects could be impacting. If you connect both the word freedom and audacious back to slavery the meaning of the title means things slaves did to gain there freedom that they know would put them in harms way and be very sneaky. Some things that these slaves did that were very risky in the Journey of gaining their freedom were, learning how to read and write, sneaking away at night or trying to escape knowing if their master caught them they would be in a lot of trouble.
