For my last and final blog I would like to start out talking about the presentations we viewed in class on Thursday. The Tim wise screening, the ACC Men of Distinction, and the East Austin project were all amazing. All three presentations were exciting to watch and were very inspiring. I was extremely proud of my classmates and it was nice to see everyones projects come together in such a great way.
The tim wise screening turned out a success and I think it was awesome that the targeted audience was the majority, I know many people were reached out to and these conversations were sparked up which have them thinking about issues of White privilege and hopefully continue you to address this issue.
The ACC Men of distinction program was new to me and I think it is an Awesome program. I admire Edden for working with such a positive cause and devoting her time to this. I love how this group applied their project to everything that we learned about Black men over the semester only to find that the information is still true and relevant. Black men do want to be responsible and make something of themselves, they just need the resources to support them!
The East Austin presentation did not finish but I enjoyed watching their documentary. I love hearing from the older generations because they have so much knowledge and experience. Im looking forward to seeing the outcome of their project.
I am looking forward to seeing the remainder of groups and also presenting. The second group I am involved in (Theatre for dialogue) will be presenting on Tuesday and I hope our class will enjoy what we have planned for them also for the Patriensa School supply drive Lydia and I will not be presenting but only discussing the outcome of what we collected!

I definitely felt the same way about the MOD group. At first it reminded me of what a fraternity's purpose is. However, the more we got to know about these men and their situations it's amazing. They take these responsibilities that their lives and situations require, rather than being overwhelmed by them, they still make it an effort to support each other through these times. It's a very selfless and encouraging organization.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Kudos on the Tim Wise group! I love your theater for dialogue piece. I had heard on MOD but never really knew what they were about so that was cool. Have a safe summer!
