Gratitude for Brown vs. Board of Education :: Race Segregation

What is it to ME I was born in 1985 and I grew up with two younger brothers. Now when I ensure back on my life I realize that I work hitn many topics for granted. These things are the simple things that most people take for granted such as evolution up in a good neighborhood, and not having to worry about gangs, violence, and drugs. Like most kids growing up in good areas I went to a good rail that helped springboard my life. These blessing are what allowed me to get into this University. Every once in awhile I view or think of something that reminds me of how lucky I am. At this University I had one of these moments and it happened at an art museum. This museum had an exhibit on Brown v. The progress of Education. This exhibit is where I really came to appreciate what I was blessed with because of others before my time and what they catch allowed me to do with it. The Brown v. Board of Education exhibit size was decent from my view but I have not bee n to an art exhibit for exceptionally long time. The thing that caught my eye the most was a video playing on a wall. This video had the screen split down the middle with two dismantle videos playing. On one incline of the screen there was what seemed to be over-the-hill video footage of a white family and then on the other side old video footage of a calamitous family. These videos seemed to try to show that black and white life was the same during this time. The footage seemed to be taken in the mid-sixties or seventies, based on the clothing worn in the footage, and this fox me due to the fact that black and white life was not equalize at this time. It showed both families going to Disney World and their family get-togethers. The black family did seem to have more people over for the family together and much more nutriment which just reminded me of my own family get-togethers, which I have to say are a blast. The whole film gave off an aura that the film had been contrived .
