I found each of the interviews affective in illustrating various realities that minority people experience. Specifically, Joyce Hughes and Barrack Obama were both excellent examples of individuals who altered the way society considered the Blacks. They both faced rejection and were denied opportunities because of their race. Joyce Hughes demonstrated her loyalty to African American society by working as a professor and proved that even woman could make a difference. Hughes was the first woman and the first African American to teach at the University of Minnesota Law School. Barack Obama graduated at the top of his class and Harvard Law. He was able to astonish people, and prove that a Black man could be President. The Database allowed me to watch personal interviews that demonstrated how people overcame discrimination to ultimately attain their dreams.
