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.
