While the World Watched Reflection

Q:What are three things you learned about the history of the USA that you did not know before? Explain.

A:I learned the south was segregated a lot more than I thought it was especially Birmingham.

A:I also learned that black people were really sad when JFK the president died.

A:I also learned of the horrible things that white people did to black people back then and they thought it was ok.

Q:What would Jesus have done if he was in Birmingham during this time? Explain using specific examples.

A:I think for example if Jesus was in Birmingham when the bombing in the church took place he would’ve reached out to people and spent time grieving with people. He would’ve tried to teach the KKK about God just like he tried to teach the pharisees about God and try to change their hearts.

  1. Why do you think we read this book in Bible class and do you think we should do that again next year? Explain.

I think we read this book to open our blind eyes to see what really happened back then. I think the 6th graders should read the book next year because it is a good book.
