my Amistad post
That is my poem I wrote for a study of forced immigration. I was inspired by my teacher and Elizabeth Alexander. It was from the point of view of a slave who was aboard the Amistad cargo ship.The slaves were not supposed to be on that ship. We completed the poem and all on 2/11/09. I learned about African Americans from the post below. My class and I read books about slavery so, we had a feel for what The slaves felt. I enjoyed writing the poem and making the collage to go with the poem.
