This past Sunday,even with my slight illness, I had the pleasure to visit the America I Am:The African American Imprint exhibit, presented by Tavis Smiley at the Atlanta Civic Center, with my baby brother,Rion. I had wanted to attend for quite sometime especially after my homie Jeff[Mr.Lodge in My Noggin](Please click link to check out his blog.) had made a post.I was so elated afterwards to share this experience.
Here are just some of the things I enjoyed.
> The actual wait. I read about W.E.B DuBois and some inspiring insights.
[i.e. "Would America be America without her Negro people?"- W.E.B DuBois]
> Passing through the "Doors of No Return" from the Cape Coast Castle.
> Viewing Malcolm X's Diary
> Viewing MLK's Birmingham jail cell Bench and Key to the celldoor.
&&
>All the artifacts.
This Upcoming Sunday it is the final day and also "Family Day" sponsored by Bank of America's Atlanta Football Classic, so please try to get out and see this wonderful exhibit before it leaves.
There is also an online exhibit as well.
