Describe a time when someone offended you with their words.

There was a time when someone made a joke about my abilities in front of a group, claiming I wasn’t as good as I thought I was at a particular activity. The way they said it was dismissive and undermining like they didn’t take my efforts seriously. It wasn’t just a casual remark either—it was said in a way that seemed to challenge my self-worth. Today we read a poem called Incident by Cuntee Cullen. We had to answer questions, talk to the class, and write 10 sentences about when he was called a negro.

About freedom and liberty, in the poem he talks about how he loves freedom. But when he talks about liberty he knows he's not free.

Family and Community, Family ties and strong community bonds are often central to Black African American identity. History of Struggle and Resilience, The legacy of slavery, civil rights struggles, and ongoing battles against systemic racism shape much of the identity for Black African Americans. Music genres like jazz, blues, hip-hop, gospel, and other art forms, are often viewed as vital expressions of identity. Today in class we had to read a poem called I, Too by Langston Hughes. This short poem talks about Langston Hughes in a white family, and he is being treated bad, but he doesn't care. When reading this poem, it teaches me that you can do or be anything in life. After reading it, we had to create a mask about ourselves.
