America I Am meaning

To us the exhibit tile "America I Am" means that all ethnicities are apart of America. In the context of the exhibit it means that African Americans have played a large part of American culture. We know this because the exhibit showed major roles played by the African Americans in history such as the Cincinnati Brigade who fought in the cvil war for the Union, and Shirley Chisholm, who was the first black presidential candidate and the first black congressman.

In general we think the exhibit was well done and interesting. It had a variety of media so you where never reading or looking at pictures to much. They had many interesting artifacts that helped illustrate the main point of the exhibit. The way they decorated certain sections in a way that it looked like the setting such as the slave trade fortress. The exhibit was interesting and we enjoyed although they could have marked each section with a title that was shown.
