2. How do people in Benin view relations in America between black and white people?

[Zora Rich @zora_rich_]

After talking with AUF of Benin today I learned that there is a misunderstanding in what BLM is and how people in Benin view it. They seemed to expect BLM to have helped Africatown more than we told them it did, based on our limited experience. #AFRusa23

I left with a couple more questions.
1. What are current race relations like in Benin? Are they as tense between black and white people as they are in America? #AFRusa23

@KaitlynTol91659 I like how they have so much pride in their community and are still actively working to make it better

Some of the sights we saw on the lantern walk on Nov. 4.
the first picture is a picture of us walking to the cemetery and the second is a picture of a church where we met and talked to elders before the cemetery. #AFRusa23

Today in our intro to African American Studies class we talked to pulitzer prize winner Darryl Fears. He told us how he went to Howard University and how he was pushed to pursue academic excellence as well as excellence in every area of his life- this he said got him where he is.

After reading “Barracoon,” I realized i didn’t know as much as i thought I did.
Tomorrow I get to go to Africatown and ask real people who had real experiences living there.

“I was sent to ask” - Zora Neale Hurston “Barracoon: The Story of the Last ‘Black Cargo’”

Growing up in Mobile, we learned about Mobile history in a way that I thought was all encompassing, showing all sides of the story.

@KiaraSm00703687 what are you expecting to find?

[Zora Rich @zora_rich_]

So excited to go to Africatown tomorrow and get to learn about the culture and history that the Heritage museum talks about! Excited to be pushed out of my comfort zone and learn new things.

@kemjacks Activists drew national attention by doing sit ins and boycotts.

[Zora Rich @zora_rich_]

@KiaraSm00703687 @kemjacks Totally agree! Such a great opportunity to learn about how diverse systems work better and how we can strive towards it! #AFRusa23
