Today, we visited el #museo of Roanoke Rapids Canal. Our tour guide was Mr. Pierce and he had a fantastic #chinstrap. We learned about how a canal works, local history of #roanokerapids #canal, and famous figures of the town. Mr. Pierce also shared insight on the racial and demographic issues of the local school system. He also smelled #amazing.
After the el museo, we all hopped into the white vans (#teambigvan) and rode to River Falls Park where it was #frozen!!! #welovefrozen #wesangfrozen #thecoldneverbotheredmeanyways. We took a lot of jumping pictures and played team bonding games. Our favorite was Steffi's game called Wizards, Elves, and Giants, where we divided into teams (#goteamtwo) and got to chase each other.
Okay enough with the hashtags...people are speaking in them now and it is unacceptable. Later that night we engaged in a thrilling, emotional, and intense discussion about MLK, race, civil rights, and identity, facilitated by Tricia. The discussion was over two hours and we all came out of it thankful to be in such a safe space.
Afterwards to blow off some steam we played boom-chika-boom-boom and THE STOOPID GAME!!!!!
