Dr. Carr’s lecture was extremely enlightening and inspirational to me. I was able to better understand my culture and heritage after listening to his lecture. His passion and feelings definitely came out during his lecture and I enjoyed watching him become so passionate about his speech. He spoke of subjects that I feel we, as an audience, were all able to relate to. I appreciated the fact that he was able to keep my attention throughout the entire lecture. I never knew how much of a role that African American’s played in the creation of reading and writing in the world. It was great to hear that many of the creations throughout the world originated because of the African people. It was encouraging to hear this because you don’t hear of the great accomplishments that African American’s have achieved. Instead, we are taught what the European’s were able to create and discover. I fully understand that African American’s did not create everything but now I know that we did in fact have a big part in many of the things that were started in this world. Dr Carr’s lecture left me with a sense of pride and I am overly confident and honored to call myself an African American. The way that Dr. Carr was able to summarize the entire lecture with Louis Armstrong was impressive. It was intriguing to watch him dance and create our entire in a three-minute song. I will never forget what I learned that day because he was able to make his lecture entertaining and unforgettable.
