Black History Remix! by: Melissa Money

The Black History Remix Exhibit was every exquisite! I viewed the Civil Rights Movement through a series of pictures and displays. My favorite photograph was of a black woman in deep contemplation. She has the words written "I have overcome" on her jacket. This picture, along with many others, brought out many different emotions in me. This women's sadness sadden me. Also, a felt thankful for the freedoms that I posses today. If not for Civil Rights movement, these freedoms would not have been given to me.

History Remixed ( Gates )

Walking into the History Remixed exhibit I was a little on edge on what i was going to experience. I just wondered if i was going to see the usual gruesome pictures, the uplifting marches, the horrific attacks, or maybe the uniting of the blacks and whites for a greater cost, something different. These thoughts already made me uncomfortable and exhausted. Taking my first steps into the exhibit i already was let down. The pictures were of the truth but nothing original or new. The same old marches, dog attacks, water spraying, bus torching, and let my people go marches. The only new thing was finger prints of Rosa Parks and the funeral of Martin Luther King Jr. I am very appreciative for what these courageous African Americans have done for me and my fellow peers but i would have liked to learn something new.

History Remixed (Nicholas Williams)

The History Remixed exhibit was the most memorable part of my visit to the High Museum. It takes you through a timeline of Civil Rights Movement during the 1960's in America. To me, it shows the despair of blacks and necessity for social reform. As I walked through and observed the pictures and letters, pamphlets and posters and such, it showed me how intensely real the whole Movement was. Most of the pictures they had on display I had already seen, but there were others that I had not and those were the ones that gave me an overwhelming feeling. At one point I actually had to walk out and to get some air because I started to feel like I was being suffocated. The immense amount of violence, and the unnecessary casualties caught on film became too much for me to handle. If the exhibit had not already left the museum, I would suggest you to see it for yourself. I would not say that it changed the way I felt about that time period, but it made me open my eyes a little bit more to the realities of it.
