I think that a speech at a famous landmark in Memphis would be the best way to get the word out. I'm piggybacking off of Martin Luther King Jr.

I think that this website could help in our group discussion, and I like how you used history and this can help us find out what people have done in the past to fix the problem.

I think that this will help our project because I might lead us to something different.

I feel like there is a little more information to be used in this paragraph, I feel like it was formal though. I suggest using a little more recent site.

I personally think that this is full of information that is good, but is more of an opinion.

A good link showing how our country has decided to embrace change in our presidential decisions on who to lead the country. Soon we will probably have many different races and even genders of people as leaders of the country.

I think you also need some more background in this. There just isn't enough information in what you said to be sure of the real problem. Where is the problem? All you are saying is we need to pursue Obama's dream. No problem is stated.

Are you saying that we need to bring back Martin's idea? Yes. I am. I like how you had the idea of using something that has already happened and worked to spread the word about racism. This is a reliable link because it is from a University, but this seems to have very many opinions in it.

It is great what Martin Luther King has done to unify us. I wouldn't have some of my friends today if it weren't for him. I try to live by: Judge a man by his actions; not the color of his skin. I think it would be great to make a celebration for him. I think the article was good, I just think you could find a deeper one.

Is this link valuable? Sure it compares Lincoln to king and king to Obama, but that is not affecting our community.

I like how it asks questions and then answers them in detail. I also like how it compares old racism to new racism.

This article is great talking about how the "I have a Dream" speech has brote this country together.

Why is this important now? This is important because of its history and heritage. What drove MLK to give this speech. We should consider following MLK's ways of leadership and awareness.

I don't think that this is biased. However, I don't think it's very valuable either; it's an interview with someone who wrote a book that connects Abraham Lincoln to Obama to Martin Luther King Jr.

Please check if other people had posted it before you post.

This article is great because this shows the other side of the fight. Some African Americans have made some bad choices, but so have many whites as we have seen with the KKK, church bombing, and many others that exemplify the cruelty that both sides have done to push for there cause.

If the park is named after a racist, that does not mean that the park is racist.

I think that the only way people who are racist like the KKK are getting their power is because of the reaction they get. I mean does someone complain when none of the people they are talking to care what they say.

I agree with Jack. I think racist groups like the KKK get their power is because so many people talk about them and do news articles on them.

Most articles only talk about African Americans and stuff they did, but this article is one of those rare ones that talks about bad stuff white people do. I agree with Robert.

I like this because it is a little different like Jerry said, but I see that you highlighted this and I don't think it said everything you really wanted to say.

I also agree with Robert. I think that all of these people put a lot of lives in the way for a problem that could have easily been solved. It also shows how the blacks had to struggle for their rights and freedom. This article also looks at not just the black side of this problem (because that is the side that we always look at) but how that African Americans also made some bad choices and how some of them effected the problem as well.

This event shows how Memphis has a bad racist history and that it wasn't a good idea to name the parks the name of racists in the first place.

This is very questionable. I would like to see the originator of this park. Perhaps a KKK leader created it? This is a big problem and I'm glad they're fixing it.

This is a great article to help us get more information about our city's black history. This is a great article for our group to collaborate on and discuss.

How does this develop our learning? It's really just about a park named after someone. I like how this is up-to-date and uses facts and history.
