2/15: Today we took an inter-cultural competency test.
2/16: Today there was a speaker, Jamie Tworkowski, with the organization, To Write Love On Her Arms.
2/17: Today we did not have class. Instead, we were asked to attend a Black History Month event. I attended "The Smallest Freedom Fighter" on February 8, 2011. Sheyann Webb-Christburg started her speech by singing 'Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around.' She spoke about being a daughter of the civil rights movement, from Selma, Alabama. She also spoke about her encounters with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The way she spoke about him, you could see the admiration she had for him. She made you feel like you were right beside that 8 year old girl that she was. Two minutes turned into an hour, and I was tuned in the entire time!
