     After viewing the exhibit "America I Am" we think that it gives an insight on what Americans and America is like and was like. Also it talks about what America and Americans fought for and believed in. Thurgood Marshall said America has no choice but to do better and it shows how America can only move up they were already failing or at the bottom. Also Martin Luther King Jr said "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" and that quote talks about how blacks went through racism and when one person has injustice the whole world has injustice. American Martin Luther King extended peace to other countries which shows that Americans are good people. Also Fredrick Douglass said that serving in the army shows that blacks are citizens because they fought for their country. Also the Union League was a political group formed by black men and they educated black men and gave them power to campaign for their rights. These show what Americans fought for what they believed in by using their rights. America made the 13, 14, and 15 amendments and they gave slaves citizenship and the right to vote to black. This shows what America is like and they realize that America cares about their citizens. The "America I Am" exhibit talks about citizens and America.
