Today at the Civil Right Memorial Center and the talk with Roscoe Jones made me realize that history is repeating itself. It made me think that the movement is still not over, and that we still have to finish what the people before us had started. A quote that Roscoe says that impacted me was "I almost got killed for you." This made me think about the responsibility we have as the future generation, to carry on their wonderful movement. We have to appreciate the participants in the civil rights movement because they impacted and shaped our lives today.
