My Day in Jackson, Mississippi

Hello, ok so today was the coolest day ever! First of all we ate breakfast and had devotions with Lowell, then we headed out and had a private tour with our very own Wayne (Mr. Perkins' son). It was awesome; we saw railroad tracks that were blocked by school busses in the (I believe) in the same position where they were placed to block the protesting and boycotts that John and Vera Mae Perkins organized. We got to see a court house and also Mendenhall. We took a million pictures and it was so much fun! We also went to Fisherman (a buffet) for lunch. And I must say that it was the best buffet place that i have ever been to! Oh, and don't get me started with desert. It almost tasted like heaven, It was awesome!! Anyways, after that we went to Medgar Evars home, where he was shot on June 11, 1963. We toured inside his house seeing every room and how the kids beds were lowered so they would stay away from a sniper shot through the windows. I also got to see the magazine where Mrs. Evers was shown being at her husbands funeral with her son. Now, the part of the tour that really stuck out to me were the stains of blood that were left in Medgar Evans driveway. For me it got me thinking on the way that white people had so much hatred toward black people. My question is, Where did all of this hatred originate? What happened? So many years, black people have been murdered, brutally tortured, women have been raped, babies have been killed and for what? Being treated like animals for so long, to me seems extremely inhuman. And for racist white people to go so low as to assasinate Medgar Evers, an innocent men just fighting for justice, to be shot at in front his own family, to me that is definetly wrong in so many ways and its unacceptable. So, after that we went to the Medgar Evars Library we saw a documentary or more like an interview that show'd Medgar Ever had, just a year before his assassination. In the interview, Medgar was asked how he felt about dying. His answer rocked my world because he said that even though he had billions of threats and had a bombed thrown in his own home, he said that when it came to his time, he would be ready. This inspired me a lot because here's is a man that jeopardized himself and his own family to stand up for what was right. For Justice. To see this man to have the guts to do this, only makes me want to go home and fight for justice even though they are really little things, like not cheating. Later in the day we went and visited the radio station, where Medgar Evers brother worked at and he talked to us about what he believed in and why. Though we had a long conversation, what stuck out to me the most is they was he was so straight forward with us, no lies. Also, he told us that he hated it when guys wore the pants low, smoking sope and earring in their ears. And i completely agree with him becuase as black people they are supposed to portray all of black people. He also said that he was very dissappointed when he saw black people not taking advantages of the education that was given to them. I also agree with him here becuase there are a lot of black teenagers that don't care and don't appreciate what other people have done for them in order for them to be free and to not be grateful is wrong.
