Even though I had known Mrs. Rosie for a very long time, I never knew any thing about this part of her past. I never really knew the severity and hardships people like herself have gone through to get us rights. Hearing this from the perspective of Mrs. Rosie completely shocked me because the thing that she told me, I wasn't ready for. These weren't just people trying to get their rights these were soldiers that had to go through pain and struggles to get their freedoms. I always knew that African Americans went through hard times but when Mrs. Rosie told her story about when she marched with MLK I was bewildered and in awe. I couldn't believe that people could do those kinds of things to each other.
