I was able to go to the Civil Rights Museum with my friend Khadiga and her Flat Stanley. It was great to be there just a week after Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. I learned while I was there that this year will mark the 50 year anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement making a huge change for our country. I can't believe that my own town was the start to many of the marches and peaceful protests that changed our country!
The hardest part of our walk through the museum was looking out the window and seeing the very church that was bombed years ago. Six little girls were killed just because someone hated their skin color. I learned how much was sacrificed for the sake of equality and freedom. I want to always fight for equality and friendship among every race and color!
(I lost my shoe while at the museum, so I do apologize for my appearance!)
While we were taking the above picture at the museum, we were spotted by a newsman for ABC 3340 who knew all about Flat Stanley and his travels! He asked if we would like a picture in front of his news van. Of course, we said YES!
