Dr. Carr's lecture

Dr. Carr’s Lecture was very educational, and one of a kind to me. I took a lot from the lecture, and learned a lot of things that I was never introduced to throughout my life. The things he brought up and talked about where things that I feel every black and non-black person in the public school systems in American, and around the world should know before reaching a collegiate level of education. The way in which the speech was delivered also made it very easy to take in and understand everything being said. Dr. Carr did a real good job and kept my attention the entire time. One part of the speech that stood out to me the most was finding out that so many of the things that we depend on the most in America, and the things that helped build the country we are today, were because of black people. A lot of times we are made to believe that black people had very little contribution to the makes and works of society today. I never knew that the whole alphabet and calendar system was something brought on by blacks, and changed around by other people. I feel it’s all something that was just “mistakenly” left out of the history classes that we all took, and the classes that our children in the future will be taking. I’m glad I was able to take in all that was being said through the lecture, and really understand it all.
