The first couple of days have been very enjoyable. We've gotten a chance to see some interesting pieces at the museums such as the wall of activists names and the descriptors of the four young men who sat in at the segregated restaurant. I found the Confederacy memorabilia a bit unsettling though. I also wish that we had more of a chance to see the Civil Rights movement outside of nonviolence. There were more militant groups working throughout the period as well, but we haven't covered them yet. I hope pieces aren't left missing, but we've only just begun.
