Finally, a person
There is so much behind freedom in our history. Our lives depend on our freedom. Our government is allowing us with freedom. However, our history had our huge glitches. Our biggest freedom problem was when the blacks and whites were separated and treated differently. What our government didn’t understand is that blacks can be intelligent. They took everything for granted and never understood the pain and torture we put them through just because of their color. Their color meant nothing and it still doesn’t matter. In the past, the whites just looked at black people as some alien. The whites took them and tortured them. They punished the blacks for no wrong doing but just because of their looks.
Rebelling was the only thing the blacks could do to save themselves. They had to save their own race. They rebelled because they felt like they needed to be treated as equally as the whites. It wasn’t fair to them that the whites get to live rich lives and blacks have to live in some run down house. Rebelling made the black people feel free. It made them feel like they could do what they wanted to do. However, the white people would always find a way to stop it. But blacks never gave up and they never did until they got their fair share of freedom.
The blacks never let newspaper or others tell them who they were. They just kept their head up and kept on living their lives as of today. They never let the media define what being black meant to them. Although the media talked all the smack (bad stuff) they wanted, the blacks just did what they had to do and that was to fight for their own rights. The blacks taught us that we can fight for our rights and that if we’re really dedicated to it, we’ll earn our reward.
