My favorite part of the day was hearing the stories of the people that were part of the civil rights movement. I particularly liked Catherine Burks-Brooks' story. Her mug shot was a perfect representation of the attitude they had back in the day during the movement. Listening to her speak about the things she did made the history a little more like reality. It's different reading about something and actually hearing about it from someone that actually went through it. The women that spoke today were very brave and I thank them for what they did when they were my age. If it wasn't for their bravery, our nation may not have been what it is today.
