Description...
July 20, 2005, I went to Dusable Museum with friends at Colombia College taking a bus about for 20 minutes. And we arrived at the museum after walking for 3 minutes. The architecture of the museum was simple and looked like did not invest much money. In the museum, there are 3 guides for accounting about African and American history. We could learn a lot of information about history of black people and moved to a place where there was information about Annie Malone. The woman was born in 1869, and she was an African-American businesswoman and inventor. She looking for a better method for hair care for black women who was using soaps or oils, so their hair was damaged. Eventually, she developed various treatments and found a Poro College in 1917. Although black people did not respected, she tried to make black women to be beautiful. After looking around a lot of information involved an achievement of Malone in the first floor, we went to a wide and modern down stair. In the floor, there were many stories about black singers. I entered a room that had many pictures about from old singers to modern singers, and the floor was played a jazz music. After talking about some music with classmates, we went to up-stair and taken a picture with all people who were Tune, classmates, and 3 guide. Then we went to a restaurant to have a lunch.
ANALYSIS...
In the Ducable museum, there were many pictures about black people. Many black people experienced a lot of pain and received the treatment of low levels. So there were pictures that show dieing black people and brutal scenes. After I saw the pictures, I thought that it is similar with the history of my country. Many decades ago, Korean were killed and injured from other countries before became independent. So we can see this brutal situation in Korea museum too. Chicago downtown is known for the city of wonderful culture and fashion. There are many luxury people who decorate their bodies by investing a lot of money. However, as much as that, there are many homeless people. They are almost black people. Although they do not try to earn money, it is a tendency that black people are ignored because they have no enough opportunities for earning money. When I saw employees in stores, there are more black people than white people. And I can see white people in the stores of high level. Of course, now most people deal with black people without discrimination, still some people ignore black people.
My Thoughts and Feelings...
We went to a room that exhibits the environment of black people. In the room, there were many pictures that expressed about black people: received a torture, pain. And the most confused picture was white people?s smile. Watching black people, all white people were laughed as they watch funny scenes. The situation made me to angry. All people were born as an equal condition. Black people did not wrong behave and did not injury to white people. However, white people ignored black people as only a reason: the skin of people was differ from them. White people are never more smart and distinguished than black people. This a biased view was impatient, I disgusted. In the room, There were not only many pictures but also a number of tools. Among the tools, the most remember tool was Manacles. The tool was used when black people?s wrists were bound. When I thought the serious situation, I was scared and flinched. Mannequins that express Wrists dropping blood and the marks of blood were very brutal scenes. Moreover, white people given harsh pain to black people as they were called hyena. White people deal with black people as wreak animals are suffered from strong animals. This biased situation remains even now. I think that this discrimination should disappear. Never, black people are not a object that people can ignore.
