Black Heritage Trail

Last Friday, we finished the Black Heritage Trail. This place is near the downtown. We need to visit 10 places. All of these are very great places. A little sadness is that, I didn’t finish all of these places because I have to back to have the physic lab course. So I didn’t visit all the places. And in that Friday, the weather is terrible, so hot. My presentation will introduce the Abiel Smith School. This historic space shows the history of African Americans from slavery through the abolitionist movement. They wanted to make an equality of education.
“The Abiel Smith School was named after a white businessman who left an endowment of $2,000 to the city of Boston for the education of black children.”
“In the first building in the nation built for the sole purpose of serving as a public school for black children. This historic site has been transformed into exhibit galleries and a museum store open to the public Monday through Saturday year around. The site is also available to be rented for meetings and special events.”
I think this place represent African Americans want to get the equal rights for education. They also have the rights to get a better education. Of course, they were success. So this place is very historic and we need to remember this kind of quality.
In this Sunday, the World Cup was finished. Spain won the world championship. They beat Netherlands. My favorite soccer player, the Spanish goal keeper Iker Casillas did a very great job. He stop Arjen Robben’s two minatory shots. Of course, Iker Casillas is No. 1 Goal Keeper in the world.
