Week 1 Post

Group 5 didn’t quite blog correctly but we gave our opinions for week 1. Rosa Parks was the first matter of interest in for group five. She stayed with what she believed in, until she got arrested for not moving, and that is what is so special about her. Parks started a band of followers that finally had the courage to stand up for what they believed in because of her. Martin Luther King Jr. was our second major topic. He was all about keeping the piece and doing nonviolent acts. One great point brought out from Adam Tudela that I thought was put perfectly was when he said “The difference between the blacks and the whites in expressing their opinions is that the blacks were non-violent and non-intrusive, the blacks acted much more like Christians than the KKK members burning crosses”. This in my mind relates perfectly to Martin Luther King Jr. All in all, King Jr. gets his point across by showing an example such as Rosa Parks and describing how he feels.
