Interview Reflection

                                                                  REFLECTION

For this project I had to interview someone that had an experience with segregation, I interviewed a friend of mine named Samantha Yuen, during this time she lived right out side of Alabama, she was around 9 years at the time of segregation coming to an end. . Samantha talked to me about how everything back then was so different compared to now, she recalled a day where she was at a dinner and and African American man came inside, she stated  that they treated him as if he wasn't human but he still was polite, she always had respect for African Americans 'secretly' because although, they didn't get treated with the right amount of respect they never once were rude. But Samantha already knew why he couldn't be disrespectful because that would give the police officers a reason to arrest them. Although she felt bad she still didn't do anything to change this problem because she didn't want to get in trouble or interfere with any problems. She imaged if their wasn't racism back then then the people that fought for a change would still be alive today.      

Samantha moved to Chicago with her family when she was 11 in hopes of it being less segregate,  although that didn't work out she still lives here today and works for the history museum where she often tells people about what she has learned through that time of her life. I asked Samantha if she ever heard the term 'Sarvdaya' she only knew that is meant 'all rising' I gave her the exact definition and she released it in more depth after the interview. This interview shows how people you know have experiences about memorable thing in history. Sarvdaya has an impact on every one it doesn't matter what race you are, you all have to sand as one in order to get an impact, just as the African Americans and even 'whites' stood together and now today there isn't much racism going around.
