NHD Reflection

My partner and I did an exhibit on Ruby Bridges for NHD. I learned that Ruby Briges was only 6 years old when she desegragated william frantz elementary school in Tyler town, Mississippi. When the NAACP first came to her parents about helping to desegragate William Frantz she was supposed to be accompined by four other young girls, but their parents pulled them out at the last minute because they were scared for their childrens as well as their own safety. In the interview me and my partner did with ruby bridges we learned that she didnt exactly know what she was doing (cause she was so young) all she knew was that she had to do it, bacuse it was the right thing to do.

If I could do any thing differently it would be that i wouldnt wait so long to put all my stuff on the board. We were putting the last touches on our board the day before we were to be judged, So we had to put a rush on it. I would also use more pictures and have more detail in my captions. And pick a topic that is more known =because it was hard finding some of the pictures we need were hard to find.

This year in NHD was way easier than last year. Last year I did an documentary and it was more time coonsuming than an exhibit. It took me and my partner a month to get all our images for our documentary and then when we put it togther it took us a week to edit it. While the exhibit wee found all our info printed it out and did our board in two days.
