The Right To Vote


In 1872, Susan B. Anthony broke the law by voting; at the time it was illegal for women to vote. For this crime she was tried, found guilty, and fined $100.00. Why do you think Anthony was willing to go through such an ordeal just to vote? Is the right to vote that important in our country?

Welcome to Harlem

The trip to Harlem was informative and exciting--the rich history of Rucker's Park; the walking tour which explored the sights, sounds and culture of Harlem; the authentic and delicious soul food served at Sylvia's eatery; and finally the incredible ambiance of the Apollo Theater, and Mr. Apollo himself, Billy Mitchell. the talent show was unforgetable--can not believe the talents of our King students.
Please reflect on one aspect of the trip, and in particular one piece of information you learned that you did not know. How and why did this information impact you?
