New Museums

Part 1 from heaven to home:
I think the purpose of this field trip was to show and let us know the history of the Jews and there time that they had here in America. While we were in the exit I learned a lot of things that I have never been told or even knew about before that day. In 1654 the first Jewish people came to America. The first Barbie made was by a Jewish lady named Ruth Handler. . I also learned that in the years 1654-1766 the Jews fought for equality because other feared that if they accepted the Jews they’d have to except everyone else. 23 Jewish adults and kids came first and arrived in Dutch colony New Amsterdam. Many Jews in north were against slavery and many in south agreed with there fellow white citizens. Civil war in 1861 about 7,000 Jews fought for the union and about 3,000 fight for confederacy.

Part 2 children of immigrants
Part A- the photograph that struck me well that I did was a photo of the Walt Disney magnet school in Chicago in 1999. I liked this photo because the school was full of diversity of many races. I could relate because our school high tech middle is like that. Also because many schools outside US have many people who look same and believe in the same and immigrants form other places is what makes us unique.
Part B- the quote I chose what "The greatest thing I hoped for in my life is to become a successful person and to have a family and friends to support me, not to be looked at by the color of my skin but also who I am inside." -Samira Durakovic, Yugoslavia. I chose this quote because she saying she wants her family and friends to support he and for people to see who she is on the inside and not just the color of her skin or how she looks or he religion. Many non-white people or minorities’ probable feel this way to and I chose it because many people could connect and I liked how she worded it in her quote.
