What did you see on the American National Tree? Can you find people who have similar characteristics to your role? what do these people have in common? Why do you think that the Constitution Center's permanent exhibit is this tree?

I saw alot of different people that are important but i never seen before. i think its really great that they made that for people to know who they are. the person that was similar to my role is Fennie Lou namer. They are in common because they are both african american and they are females. i think the reason why the constitution center permanent exhibit is the tree because there is alot of people that made a change for the united states and they are important people.

I saw many people from the past that made a difference but you don't hear about them everyday. One of them was an Asian-American male. The person from my role and the man from the tree was both asians. I think that the center of the exhibit is a tree because they wanted people to learn about some other people who made a difference in America.

The things that I saw on the national tree was a lot of different people and different culture people looked so different. But mostly there problems are the same . And none of the people matched up to my character .because my character was kinda old and there were mostly no people that would look like her age.

I see a lot of people of different races. I see a person that is closest to my role. They are all in common because they are related to slavery.Maybe it is permanent because it shows important highlights in history.

You will see cultures. Yes I was a 42 year old man from South Carolina. Some of the people are black. Maybe their trying to show like a time line from back then to now.

On the American Tree, at the constitution center, i seen a lot of people that meant a lot to society today. I seen people that helped with slavery during the Civil Rights Movement. These poeple helped with the struggle of African Americans. It was found in the 14th Ammendment that everyone was entitled to their rights. African Americans were just fighting to get them back. Their was one person that I kept focus on and he exemplified the role I was to take on and he also exemplifie one of the people helping during the Civil Rights Movement(CRM). Mr role to take on was A 19 year old, White Male, living in Boston MA. The person I kept focus on was Mario Savio [1942-1996], White male, living in Brooklyn NY. My role and Mario Savio have in common that they are both White and Male. I think the constituion's permanent exhibit is the American National Tree because for people like Mario Savio, in the past. He might've just helped with the CRM but that says a lot because the CRM helped to evolve the constitution and it has to do with it.

There were many things that i have seen in the national tree. Some people i seen was Elizabeth eckford and that was interesting for me. I think that was interesting because i allready learned about her and it feels good when you something about it. My role was a 16 year old asian female. The female i have choosen became a lawyer and was going threw alot to get were she is now. I think they put all these people in a tree because over the years we grow and more risk to make a change.

I saw alot of people that I never heard about. These people was important in history. I also found some people we was talking about in Ms.Jacksons class. I learned alot of things looking at different people. this was the most info I got that day.

I saw many people from the past that made such a difference. I had a Native American man that was from Kansas. I couldn't find someone similar to him because he was black && they didn't have that much black people in the tree. But i kind of found someone that is white and that is kind of older but not from Kansas. The reason why they didn't have that much black people was because a lot of them was slaves. The reason they had the tree was because they wanted people to learn about history. && what had happened back then in the past.
