I am not your negro
When watching the documentary I am not your negro I found it very interesting as it spoke a lot about many important times in history for african americans. It showed how much african american people fought for their freedom to live completetly free in America, to be treated as equals, and to feel comftarble living in a country they helped create and grow just as much as the white man. As I watched the documentary I felt really frustated and sad because seeing how much african americans fought for this freedom to live in peace and be treated as equals in America for many years it seems as though this racism still goes on today in America, maybe not as much throughout the time of the civil rights movement but racism could still be seen today. I feel like watching this documentarry helps people open their eyes about racism and show how it's still going on in America it helps people undestand that change needs to happen.
