Today we went to Tougaloo, saw Medgar Evers' house and saw the historic store where Emmett Till's life was changed. Today was hard for me, I kept feeling like nothing was hitting me and I was somehow wrong for it. I got chills at the store and the Evers' house, but I think I couldn't picture it. It was really hard to think of what happened without it feeling like a reenactment. It felt weird being at the Evers' house in the place where Medgar Evers died. I really enjoyed going to the Sunflower County Freedom Project and talking with the students. It was really great and I loved their energy.
