After waking up in our new "home" thanks to one of our awesome ASBers (EriK). We prepared for an adventure in Charleston, SC.
We drove for two long hours and finally arrived there to do some sightseeing. We browsed through several cute shops and looked at all of the southern style mansions. We learned a great deal about the southern culture and witnessed the lifestyle of those in the Charleston community. We noticed that the community is largely composed of retired persons and young college students, who were actively running in the afternoon. We had a nice dinner at a local deli, and made our way back home later that night.
Although we had a fun morning as tourists, we decided to watch a documentary regarding the effect of racism on prenatal health. Following the video, we had an intense discussion about how racism affects all facets of an individual's life; we addressed the issues of racism, and ultimately decided that the most effective way to address racism was through awareness and time. We used examples from our own lives and observations to make conclusions about the trends of racism still prevalent today.
Time to go to bed to get some rest before another eventful day tomorrow.
Goodnight readers!
Stephanie & Crystal
