Ben, I like this a lot. You talk about reflecting with your learning while actually reflecting on what you learned in the reading. It works on so many levels, its blowing my mind! I also like how you got the direct goal there at the end on how you will continue to apply this.
Way to connect this reading with your life, Ben. Application is definitely key when meaningful learning is involved, and it seems like you've got this whole idea in the palm of your hand. Good work.
P.S. I missed the forum today, so thanks for teaching me a little about the ratio of Africans vs. Europeans who came to America. I'm not even in an American History class and I'm still happy about having that tid-bit of information!
I considered addressing this forum, finding similar connections myself. As an American Studies major, I am intrigued by the racial issues so eminent in American history and culture. Many are unaware of this continuing struggle, and I enjoyed hearing what he had to say. One of the best points was how America has been Africanized--that is so true and wonderful.
