Hi,
I would like to tell you my personal story. Set in the 60s as a woman who lived a lot of discrimination during this period.
Well, my name is Victoria and I was born and raised in Philadelphia. I was 17 when we started our national campaign of non-violence, because of the racism that "white people" had against all colored people.
I never really understood the reason why my family and I were different from other citizens in our neighborhood.

My mom always tried to explain me the situation with people like us and every morning she would wake me up and tell me that I needed to love myself and that no matter the color of the skin or place we lived, that did not make us unimportant.
When I started the secondary, everything was completely different. Because most of my classmates were white, as white as a sheet and some girls and I were afro-american as always my 7° grade teacher said.

I am not so sure if I want to tell you some of my daily routine as a black woman, due to our nation thought so different about blacks in the sixties and some of you could be feel hurt, but anyway I think that this issue should be always part of our memories.
Even though it was kind of hard for me to understand this, I finally understood that everybody is different. I felt so miserable when I was a young girl, but then everything was so clear.

I had to fight for my freedom, we had to fight against discrimination, we had to fight for respect and for a valuable space in society. That is why we all learned a lesson, the 60s are so important, because we went through a lot of pain and felt underappreciated in our own country. But we are fighters, and we fought and we won.
I think we are a role model for a lot of persons who are clueless about what to do with their lives, people who think that when something wrong happens or something becomes to difficult, they just give up.
See you soon,
See you soon,
Victoria.
