Jamie Wolber’s Weblog

Jamie’s weblog for HIST.151

So for the past two weeks I have been working on my research for the underground railroad and I found doing this topic that it was a little over my head. Recently, like just yesterday I have decided to change my topic.  I am now doing the Atlantic Slave Trade and I find myself in a better direction.  I know that it is like a last minute thing, but I strongly think that I do things better at the last minute.  My manuscript is due on the first, and believe me I am dreading every minute up to that day.  This is my first real research paper that I have ever done in my life, so I am a little nervous!  Although I am very eager to find out the conclusion to my paper; the overall grade.  Wish me tons of luck!  I am going to need it.

The Multicultural Art Fair

I had so much fun in class, we went to the Multicultural Arts fair and it was beyond what i expected it to be.  I had over indulged in many cultural foods and experience.  I am regretting my henna tattoo though, it looks kind of funny.  I tried this Iraqi salad of some sort and I didn’t really like it to much, but it was definitely worth a try.  I also learned that there are some words in the Iraqi language that are pronounced the same as in English, which I though was pretty cool.  I really like the dancers to.  If I tired to balance a basket of candles on my head, I would be in some serious trouble that is for sure.  I think it was a good experience and I would definitely recommend everyone to go there, even to just get a glimpse of everything will be breathtaking

I found a topic

So I have decided that I am going to do my research on the Underground Railroad.  I am going to base it off of Detroit, because if you didn’t know, Detroit is the final stop to freedom!  Just imagine walking thousands of miles.  Yes the slaves from the south ran miles and miles to get to Canada to regain their freedom.  I think that it is amazing.  What do you think about it?
