My African American Studies class of Women History has been the most interesting class that I have taken thus far while attending the University of Mississippi. This class has opened a new perspective for me of how other people view women in all areas of their life. We have had great discussions, or should I say others have had great discussions because I rarely talked only listened, on different topics on the roles of men and women, their lives, and how others view each other. We have read many articles, which started with Sarah Bartmann, on how black women are still being seen today. In the readings we talked about many prestigious women who were overlooked by men who were in the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement, different organizations such as SNCC, NAACP, and many others. Our professor was a great teacher and I am very grateful for her fighting to even teach this class. This summer session it has taught me a lot. It has taught me to not be that typical overbearing, loud mouth, female that black men try to run away from. :-0 It was great hearing the men's perspective in class and see that yes women do some of the things that men say they do and also how to change those things. This class was great and I will recommend anyone that needs a history class for something or even just to have more hours to take this class if it is offered.
