African Burial Ground

     Professor Mack did a great job with his presentation of the African Burial Ground.  Not only was his information interesting, the fact that he actually experienced everything he talked about first hand was great.  Knowing that I have the chance to go and see the things he showed in his powerpoint and talked about during his lecture is pretty cool.
     The whole project and  monument, in general, is super awesome.  It's extremely interesting. I definitely want to go to the grounds come October.  I don't really know how I'll feel about it, though.  I think it's the kind of thing that you have to experience to be able to talk about. I can't even imagine how I'll feel.
     I believe Howard U was chosen to study the remains from the grounds because we are, as everyone knows, the Mecca.  We have some of the best scientists and researchers in the country, and people from our university have been making impressions in this project since it started.
     Howard's involvement in this project most definitely inspires me.  Who wouldn't want to be apart of such a powerful legacy?  Being able to take the knowledge that you possess and help others around you with it is a beautiful thing, that happens here at Howard.  I love it.
