Sunday's activities were amazing! We had some minor issues with being locked in Kingdom Camp! To defeat our problems, we decided to drive our SUV's over some hills ... as you can imagine, this was pretty intense. Nonetheless, we made it to church (Temple of Deliverance Church of God). This was an absolutely great experience. You had to be there. But there was a lot of toe tappin' and hand slappin' going on, and the people were "high" in the spirit!
After church, we ventured to Little Rock, Ark. The trip was approximately three hours, and when we arrived at our location, many of us were tired. We were drained of energy but once we heard the presentation given about the Little Rock nine, many of us were truly inspired! We even met MinnieJean Brown Trickey, who was one of the nine.
She is widely known as the one girl who was expelled from Little Rock High School after she referred to some white students as "white trash." After facing tremendous racism day after day she finally caved in to her "feelings" (we're all human). Some girls threw a purse of combination locks at the back of MinnieJean's head and she could not help but to voice her feelings against them. Apparently, a teacher overheard Jean, and urged for Jean to be expelled. Jean was expelled. Nonetheless, this woman remained an activist and established an amazing history!
Later on that day, we went to watch MinnieJean's documentary. Like I said earlier, and you should also hear from my other amazing blogger buddies, amazing story!
Oh, I can't forget about dinner! We went to Flying Fish ... yay! Talk about some good seafood ... whew wee! Excellente! I definitely had some fried shrimp! Little Rock is in my book.
