Reflection from 6/20
The reflection activity on MLK's speech was rewarding. While I understand that the point of this activity was more about communication and bringing a point across as a leader, it indirectly developed another reflection in me. Although I have heard and read his speech in the past, I was never placed in a position where I had to analyze it or hear other people's thoughts and reflections on the speech. I believe it is particularly interesting to hear comments and thoughts from a segment of society that was not affected by the discriminations and lack of civil rights, addressed by Dr. King.  The use of the parking lot provided professor Monheit the opportunity to demonstrate a hands-on approach to an idea that he presented in the past, demonstrating its effectiveness.
