Birmingham Field Trip

1. I was expecting to see several pictures of people being sprayed by hoses and getting attacked by the police. I also expected to see lots of exhibits on Martin Luther King Jr. I was expecting to see sever things about the KKK, and some of the actions they did.

2. I learned about the way in which the black population was different than the white population. This was shown in the exhibits like the difference in schools for blacks and whites. It was also apparent in the child mortality rate that where the black mortality rate was higher than the white's.

3. The thing that stood out was the case of the belongings of the children who died in the bombing. It was hard to thing that these were all things that belonged to someone who died in the bombing. It was also shocking to find the rock that killed one of the kids, knowing that it took the child's life.
