Dr. Alton B. Pollard III had such a great presentation I was entertained the whole time. Dr. Pollard’s presentation kept my attention I believe because it was something that I was interested in. Staring with the beginning during the civil rights movements; the sit in’s, the protest and all the influential people involved and how it all starts with our youth, the young people. He talked about how change starts in the hands of the young people that the youth has the power, hence the title of his power point “The Power of Young People.” Dr. Pollard’s presentation had an affect on me because he didn’t just talk about how these people bought about change; he invited us in to see if we knew about their impact. I think that the people from Dr. Pollard’s presentation have all influenced our nation in one way or another; whether it was through protest and speeches, or black power movements, to art, poetry and music; they all paved the way for the youth of today to make even bigger change in not just this country but around the world. I really appreciate that he gave us more than just your normal it’s your time to change the world speech; he showed us that it’s possible. So as a member of the Class of 2014 I believe we are the change and our time has come.
