Today we went to the Ebenezer Baptist Church. The sermon was about embracing wounds and helping others with their wounds. I found this sermon very interesting because I also think wounds make everyone who they are supposed to be. After church we went to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. In the museum I learned and recapped some things about the civil rights movement. While in the museum I noticed that everywhere I looked there were several examples of people who had a role in creating equality for everyone. This really affected me because I know that of all the many stories being told in the museum, there will still many stories that no one heard about. Its sickening to think of how many people had to stand up just to make a positive difference. After the museum we attended dinner with a few civil rights activists. Catherine Burks-Brooks sat at my table. She told us of her participation in the freedom rides.
