After the visit from Dr. Bell, the Executive Director of the Rosa Parks Museum, my interest to see the museum had increased so I went to visit the museum the next day. I remember vaguely going to the museum when I was in junior high, but I could not quite remember the experience that I had there. In this paper I will discuss how the museum made me feel, what I liked and did not like, things that made me uncomfortable, why I think you made this a requirement for the class, what questions I asked the tour guide, what I noticed about the exhibits and if I saw myself represented in the museum. While I was in the museum I felt a different variety of emotions. I felt embarrassed, angry and sad. I was embarrassed that the events shown in the museum really happened. It still amazes me how …show more content…

There was an interactive exhibit where you could push certain buttons with labels on them and a video would talk about whichever topic you picked. During the tour I wasn’t able to read the letter that was written that started the boycott because it was dark and I was hoping they would have it displayed somewhere else and they did so I was pleased with that. I thought that the documents that were displayed were interesting. In the children’s wing I thought that the time machine was neat and the video that played was interesting. I felt like the displays were nice, I just wanted to see more.As I looked around the Museum I noticed that there were a lot of women who were involved in the movement and that made me feel good that women were not sitting around feeling like victims and letting the men handle everything. Seeing the strength and courage that these women had motivated me to push through these hard times and reach my

The displays that I saw consist of the Native Americans, Pioneer/Revolutionary Formation of the County Civil War County Progresses The Fire Department, The Railroad,Furniture Industry, and The 20th Century. All of these collections present the history of Caldwell County. There were very helpful in allowing me to understand life in this county before me. The exhibits allowed me to see why people made the decisions they did, and why they acted the way they did. It was very interesting to see how the different components of the county that I had never thought about the reasoning behind the

Lining the hallways were pictures and testimonies from survivors. They gave quotes of courage and hope. All of this happened before entering the actual exhibit. The visual aesthetic was beautiful and eerie, all at the same time. Everyone spoke in a concerning, yet welcoming tone, that led us into the first tolerance exhibit.

My favorite exhibit was a rumbling Pullman car. I enjoyed this exhibit because it took me back through time and made me feel as if I was on it. This museum also had many wax sculptures which helped depict railroad life in 18th and 19th century. I also liked this because it made feel

In simple words, the Metropolitan Museum of Art was beyond fabulous. I was shocked to see so many artifacts kept to this day. It was a all hay experience filled with wonders and intrigues. So many pieces of art are related to the books we read so far. I came across such extraordinary pieces such as various libation bowls; bronze statue of Poseidon; theatrical masks; and marble heads of Medea, Socrates and Homer.

I knew that it would be sad but I didn’t realize it would affect me so much. When you enter the museum you walk down some stairs into the main area and in the center there is a room. I walked around the perimeter of the museum first and there are many pieces from the event that you can view and see pictures of. There are remnants from the crash of the towers, from the motor of one of the express elevators to the segment of a radio and television antenna and a first response fire truck that got crushed when the building fells. Not one firefighter in that company survived.

At the beginning, we were kind of disappointed when the ticket seller told us that a half of the exhibit was currently closed. Because we did not see anyone come to us as a tour guide, we decided to discover everything here by ourselves and latterly found it very interesting even though it was our first

Attending the Civil Right Museum was a very enjoyable experience. The staff at the museum was very helpful, courteous, and offered a lot of insight about the exhibits. I could tell that they were educated about the issues of oppression that African American faced. The exhibit were very detailed, such as the sculpture were life like and the audio and visual displays seemed to almost take you back to those times, so attending these types of museums is often a very emotional experience for me. This museum in particular was hard for me to be in because Martin Luther King was actually killed there, so I felt overwhelmed at that thought and did not even view the room he was in prior to his death nor did I go into the room were the shots were fired that took his life.

After getting inside I waited for my other classmates to get in as the checking process was taking longer. I had a small glimpse of the inside of the museum. We had very little amount of time, so I wanted to utilize it. The interpretive center is well done with information. There were pictures, portraits, statues of African American people doing their daily chores along with the description, quotes, a wide area just for people to share their comments.

By the year 2050, two major things are going to happen: the world's population will be approaching 10 billion, and there will be less farmable land than there was in 2017. Surely something must be wrong here! The major problem this fact exposes is that we can’t feed 10 billion people with a food supply for only 7 billion. Fortunately genetically modified foods have been the answer to this problem for many years; we just haven't learned to embrace them. Although genetically modified foods have presented health risks in the past, this correctable problem along with many other benefits make them the future source of food for the human race.
