Well we made it into Canada today. We are staying right on the river in a city called Windsor. It is a lot nicer than Detroit. Last night we went to a steak house and I wasn’t too impressed with the food.
O yesterday we went to the Charles W Wright Museum. We are very lucky to have an expert on our trip to help us process the information and to help fill in some of the blanks from the sites and to give is a larger more global perspective of the information we are receiving. As we walked through museum we came to a replica of the underside of a slave ship and we were able to see how small the space was that all of the slaves were put in. We were also given more of an understanding of how the slaves were not seen as people but were seen as a commodity. They were something that was for trading and were dehumanized. I was really taken back as I thought about humans being treated in that way.

It is sad how we can be convinced that one person is better than any other person. We are all children of God with the same potential for greatness. I agree that we should recognize greatness, but we should not presuppose greatness or infiriority based on looks, race, religion, age, or any other facor. Thanks for the posts!! More pictures please!!
