Martin luther king

when martin luther king jr spoke i felt very inspired and thought he had a very convincing speech and i felt bad for the slaves. the class that did the other video made me think about how black people helped the world progress. if i see some bullying, racism or any other type of unkindness i will do my best to try to stop it/ resolve the problem.

assignment #6

I chose Rev. Addie Aylestock as an influential African-Canadian because she was the first black female minister who served British methodist episcopal churches for over twenty years. She was born in Glenallen, Ontario and ministered in Toronto, Halifax and Owen sound. She attended the medical missionary college and the Toronto bible college while working in domestic service in Toronto. in 1951 Addie became the first ordained black woman in Canada and served in British methodist episcopal churches until she passed away in1988. That is her amazing contribution to the world. Click here to see one of the sites where i got this information. To see another site i researched click here.

assignment #5

They hunted deer and moose to get the fur for bed sheets, coats, and teepees. They had to be out in the freezing cold cutting down trees, and getting animal fur to make helpful tools and anything else they might need. Wev'e used those same fur techniques and advanced many more from skin to polyester and inventing new ways to do things. Without them we wouldn't know how to do alot of the stuff we do now. They've helped us alot by starting from scratch and we're still building and inventing new game systems, physical games, music and many more things to do for entertainment.
