Emmett Till, because in our class we didn't really know what happened ti that kid and when we saw the video in class and I think it shocked a lot of us how mean people could be back in those days. People will never forget about Emmet Till because he was beaten so badly he died from it. A lot of people came to the funeral because it was such a big story. I just know that I will never forget Emmet Till's Death, it was a bad event in history.

JFK assassination because I think he was a good president he liked everyone and he tried to help everyone out as best as he could. Also people saw him and his family as the perfect family and everyone wanted to be like him and also he was a great speaker and leader. Finally when he died everyone felt like that lost a father figure and role model and every person in America wondered why that would kill a person that was so honorable and such a good leader and did so much for our country. Kennedy will always be remembered as a great president and an honorable person for dying for country and our people.

Kenndedy Assassination

I think the most important person we have discussed this entire semester is the Kennedy assassination. The reason i think this is the most important event we've learned because everyone loved him as a person and as a president. I also think it was a big tragedy and a big loss. He could have made a big difference if he had not been assassinated. He could changes many things and he could have made a relationship between Russia and the United States and even Cuba.
I think that there were so many important people that we talked about. But, one person that did stand out to me was, MLK. He was such a powerful man, and had so many awesome speeches that really inspired people to follow their dreams. His speeches we're so good because the people could really connect with his reputation. He was such a strong leader and I think it’s important for kids to know all that MLK did. He was a guy that so many people looked up to, and I think that is very important to know. Not only is it good to learn about MLK but its very interesting! I think MLK was one of the most important people we talked about.
I think that the most important person that we learned about this year is Emmett Till. The reason I believe this is because thanks to him we had a great turning point here in the United States. Many african american people fought for their rights right after Emmett Till died. Because of his death they realized that this was a real problem that it could not be ignored. Now thanks to all of this everybody has equal rights. R.I.P. Emmett Till
I really do not know if I will read this summer, but I have read a lot of books throughout the year. I have read books like Perfect Chemistry and all the books to that series, and many other books that I honestly do not remember the name. I enjoy books about romance or mystery.
