Freshman seminar was an overall good experience. I learned a lot from the many lectures we had about African Americans and about our history. I gained more knowledge than i would on the news due to the fact that they don't really go deep into some issues.
Writing the blogs also helped me to take time out of schedule to reflect on what i understood from the lectures and it also gave me motivation to stay awake and pay attention during every lecture section.
One thing really affected me was the African burial ground and how buildings were built on top of such a hostirical part of our history. And it wasn't like they had no clue, they knew what they were doing. Had that been the graves of white ancestors, the issue would have never arose in the first place.
Freshman seminar was very helpful to me and i am greatly appreciative of gaining knowledge that i believe will help me throughout life.Entering college, i was never fully aware of African American achievements or of current associations used to help African Americans such as the LEAP program. However, now i feel that i am more aware of these types of things.
