__Reflection__ Topic- Civil Rights Movement Interview Subject- Dr. Lottie Smith

Through this oral history interview, I felt enlightened by the thoughts and beliefs of my peer. I personally, think that this was a perfect way to end this unit and the year. It really made me think back to how I have grown in this class and grade, I fervently hold my aunt Lottie as a great role model and through this experience, I have learned more respect for her and not only where she came from, but where our whole family originated from.

This assignment brought my Aunt and I closer together, we have understood each other on a social level but never on a historical level and this excites me because i think this we help me in the future with school and life in general. I was surprised when she mentioned so many things that we learned throughout the year. I am really starting to understand the present, by looking at the past, and i believe that was a key goal of yours this year Mr. Taft. And for this, I sincerely Thank You for bestowing this knowledge upon me.
