America I Am Exhibit Summary

In my opinion the exhibit was really cool. I really liked how they didn't sugar-coat anything they kept it real and simple. They really taught me the dirty secrets of America and how they treated the African American race in America. They had so many great artifacts to show us what they used during the slave trade. The exhibit in my opinion was the best one I have been to in a while.

America I Am means that if the negro population did not exist then we wouldn't have the music we have, the arts, clothes, and fashion.Some objects I saw at the exhibit would be....

-Prince's guitar.
-Michael Jordan's jersey.
-2Pac's poetry diary.
-Slave trade shackles and chains.
-Frederick Douglass' documents and bill of sale.
 I saw many other objects to but those are just a few. All of the artifacts were cool but some just made me sad and angry. Especially the KKK exhibit it made me feel disgusted.

Pros and Cons of a U.S. History Test

The Pros and Cons of getting a U.S History standardized test would be.......

Pros
-We would be a better test taker.
-A better learner in the classroom.

Cons
-More of a work load for students.
-More days of testing.
-Extra observation for teachers in the classroom.

I wouldn't want another standardized test because it would add more testing days for me which I don't want and a extra work load for me. It wouldn't be the greatest idea because we already have Math, English, and Science.

Those are just some of my opinions.
