Who made one small step for men and one giant leap for African Americans. Of course it is the one and only Otis Boykin. Otis Boykin made a big improvement in technology in a couple different ways. One improvement he made was that he made devises safer. One example of this in the article “The Black Inventor On-line Museum” is, “ A resistor is an electronic component that shows the flow of an electrical current.
The JFK Library and Museum in Boston on scenic Columbia Point, is an ode to one of the most charismatic presidents the United States has ever seen, John F. Kennedy. Most of the exhibits consist of items donated to the museum by his wife, Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis, and the location itself was chosen by Jackie. The JFK museum represents a rare time of bipartisan cooperation in American history, and the untimely death of a great American leader. John Kennedy was elected as the 35th president of the United States in 1960. Though a Democrat, JFK gained support from both parties.

James escaped prison and then was soon recaptured and added one more year to total of 100 years in prison.
In 1804, the first museum opened in New York City, and it transformed society and culture in a dramatic way. Over the next 200 years, New York City became home to hundreds of cultural institutions and historic sites. Residents and visitors alike experienced this cultural uproar in a positive way. New York City became a bustling cultural center expanding the intellectual horizons of thousands of people. The New York Historical Society, The National Academy Museum, and The Brooklyn Historical Society paved the way for future art and cultural organizations and museums to flourish within the five boroughs.
As the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library celebrates Black History Month, it is being thrust to the forefront of the homelessness crisis. The public landmark is morphing into a safe haven for the homeless seeking refuge and shelter, particularly since affordable city housing has decreased. This year, the hub of all Washington D.C’s public libraries, located in the heart of Chinatown, is hosting a series of events throughout Black History Month, highlighting African American culture and honoring the lives and legacies of civil rights activists who helped improve social, economic and educational conditions for all African Americans in the United States. The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library provides the public with numerous
While some of the history of blacks are covered in most history books, the impact they had on Americans history are often aren’t often not covered in great detail as those of their white counterparts. I will conduct this research paper on the lives of Harriet Tubman, Booker T. Washington, and Malcolm X. Their effect they had on the past is one of the reasons why the United States has become a beacon of freedom and something for which other nations like or hate the United States. These three individuals aren’t really known, with Malcom X being the most known of the three.
After read the assignments I thinking different, in the following points: A) The African Americans in the Colonial Era, how the racial slavery had become a central feature of the Atlantic world. A lot of slaves arrived in the British mainland colonies, with higer demand for the sugar-producing regions. Also, I learned how the slavery was a brutal and exploitative labor system. They turned to violent resistance, and used economic sabotage pretending destroying tools, multilating livestock, sickness, running away, etc. B)
The museum will be fresh, new, and have modern technology, while still preserving the original integrity of the artifacts. It will not only present the history of the Cherokee people, but take the audience on a journey. The entrance
The 1900s were full of white privilege and racism. Not only did white supremacists kill many escaping slaves, but many enslaved, alienated, and separated African Americans, which is frustrating to no end. People like Frederick Douglass, Rosa Parks, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Barack Obama helped make the world a better place for many of these people but giving Black men and women voting rights and desegregating many public areas through their positions of power and freedom of speech. Escaped slaves who were caught were hung.
John C. Gardner once said “History never looks like history when you are living through it.” For the people who lived during the Juneteenth, Jim Crow South, and even slavery they may have never believe that their lives would be recognized on this trail. For many of them I’m sure it was no easy road, but today we honor their legacy with not only this trail but by preserving their legacy by teaching the youth about their triumphs and accomplishments during such a strenuous time for African American individuals. I began my journey through the African American Heritage trail with the Basilica of Immaculate Conception. The site itself was keeper of records for births, deaths, and origins of Spanish, African, and French ancestors.
This year’s observance of Black History Month has caused controversy for excluding non African-American blacks. With this year’s increased racial progress, it is time for all blacks to be included in this celebration. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's most recent statistics, there are around 4 million Caribbean-Americans and an estimated 1.9 million African immigrants in the US. Very little of their history is mentioned and president Obama even deemed the celebration “African-American Month.”
I am interested in studying this museum more in depth because it speaks on the issue of promoting the significance of the individual more powerfully than any other college or institution in the world.

These three exhibits were very engaging and interesting. Although I have always been curious about visiting this museum before doing this educational trip, I actually enjoyed going there and meeting with the teacher and my classmates because the teacher was very helpful when he was talking about what we observed there during the visit. In the first floor, I enjoyed looking at “What We Carried” which has fragments from the cradle of civilization, and it describes the idea of when the war forces people to leave their homes and take some practical items, or choose what to leave behind and what to carry with them. I read all the explanation of what people wrote directly on the images which describe why they chose to carry these items.
