Birmingham Field Trip

I knew that during the movement the situation was bad, with the situations of bombings and the fire hoses. As I read the information in the museum and the looked at the exhibits though, the information began to come alive in a sense. The images were a lot more vivid, and let me see clearly that the discrimination was not only brutal on African Americans physical states, but also their emotional states as well. What really stood out to me was the fact that "The Bull" had special made an anti-protest vehicle, the tank. It was ironic that those who were there to protect and serve rode around in a tank that was created to scare people.
