Good and Hard Times in America 1920’s and 1930’s
This short video tell us the economic prosperity that in the 1920’s the American people enjoyed and also tell us that how in the 1930’s the American faced one one the most dark moments in their life, this was the Great Depression. I just want to mention that life is full of hard and good moments, and all these moments and events make us who we are. This short movie I will play in my movie after the civil war background.

San Francisco Earthquake 1906
I choose this document because I think it was very important for the American people. We can see how the American people are enduring with so many natural disaster, that we have been facing in our history. I can’t image how the people from san Francisco suffered this disaster but in the same time these people become stronger and stronger. In this earthquake died almos 3000 people, even thought it was in different circunstances and differen time, but remaind me what we faced in New York in 2001. I jus want to add that all these crisis make us stronger and I hope that with better hearts,

The Civil Right s Act of 1964
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was one of the main events in the 1960’s because changed the life of many people, mainly to the African-American. As a minority person I guess I can understand how it feel to be discrimated, however I can’t compare with thoses humilitation that many African-American people faced in that era. Thanks to this act was prohibited the racial descrimination in the USA. I want to mention that behind a great event also there are a great leaders, in this case I would like to mention the former President John F. Kennedy who took the initiative of this new law, as well as Martin Luther King, who was the voice of this act and who represented the African-American people’s voice. How we can forget Lyndon Johnson, a white president who didn’t care that other white people was opnent to this law, he made this act a dream come true.
Now, we are in the year 2010 and unfortunately a lot people we still facing everyday a lot of racial discrimation. I hope the society we can learn that we don’t have to judge people for their skin color or just for their appareance, we gave to remember that thank God there are diversity in the society and we learn from that. We have to keep in mind that if we enjoy the present is because somebody suffered in the past.
Civil Rights Movement
I think this video is important, because make us think how much discrimination the African- American people have faced , I think is time to stop judge people for their skin color. Some times you are who you are and not who you want to be, so it’s time to accept all the people and don’t forget that everybody deserve respect and love.

I liked this pictures because show us how some people are and will be a great leaders forever. This picture made me think about the sensitivity of some people. The Haitians will have Bill Clinton in their hearts forever. I ask me self maybe if Clinton was another person, maybe he was playing golf, but Thanks God it was Bill Clinton.
