I learned some interesting things from watching the documentary in class that I felt it was very fun to do. Many famous people were part of the March on Washington at the time and wanted African Americans to have equal rights as white people do. On this day, Oprah Winfrey was there for the march. President Kennedy was reluctant at first to join the movement because he felt communism was contained in this movement, and no, it was not at all. His government has agreed to help. Bull Connor sprayed fire hoses on African Americans and allowed dogs to attack them. He was doing it when it was all being televised. This act alone lifted people's eyes all over the world. I also just loved the fact that everyone worked together during this time. Especially the african american community.
