To begin I want to say that a power point of iconic African American is not an effective presentation unless words of reasoning are applied. It was not until Dr. Alton Pollard, III began to explain his reason for the images on the slide, that I became interested in the topic of discussion. However, from time to time I lost focus on the essential message because Dr. Alton Pollard, III would not cover most things in dept as he had done with other topics. Besides these few things I felt that the topic on Power of Young People was great.
From shackles to the white house, the African American culture has grown tremendously. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line the “X generation” or so they call us, has changed in ways that have not been accepted by our elders. What has not been seen by many is that the young people have been a great aspect to the African American movement. Dr. Alton Pollard, III presentation on the Power of Young People should us the ways in which young people have helped to gain freedom. Through his words he told us, the class of 2014, that it is our turn to make a change because without us the heritage that was created from blood, sweat, death, and tears means nothing. Dr. Alton Pollard, III said to us, “The blood that unites us is thicker than the water that divides us,” so basically the change comes from within us if we work together with our culture.
