I really enjoyed the African Heritage tour around campus. Ive had three generations here at the University and have never seen nor heard of the events the impacted the university. I was amazed to find out the events that took place during the protest with Authrine Lacy, like Morgan Reese Phifer is my home school too. Ive been walking up those stairs for four years now and have never once known about this event that changed the university. Its amazing and yet scary to think of how the university used to be and how far we have come now. The University is now almost 15% african american.

   When we went to the clock tower, we read the quotes from only 3 people. That leaves me questioning if that version of what happened could have been skewed. In Silencing The Past, Trouillot explains that history can be silenced in the making of the sources.. meaning they could have every well picked who's quotes went on those plaques in order to change the vision of the event that took place. I would have expected a lot background information to such a big event. I question the universities intentions by only making three statements. 

  Trouillots Book left me questioning everything, at one point had me wondering was what I have been taught all bogus? Are teachers only teaching what they have been taught, or what they thought happened? Throughout the book I found myself frustrated pondering on those questions. I really liked the fact that Trouillot explains history is "both what happened and what is said to have happened." I really liked your explanation of this thru your explain regarding the news. Its so TRUE! CNN will report and say this based on their political views (most of the time) and Fox does the same!
