1) Describe what you did for the activity.
I was taking tests and other challenges that colored people had to go through in order to vote.
2) What point was the activity trying to make?
The point it was trying to make was that colored people or poor whites had to go through various obstacles like tests and poll taxes in order to vote. The tests were made so they could fail even if they knew the answers. Even if they passed all of that, some of them would get killed by the sheriffs.
3) What did you learn from the activity?
Voting back then was something extremely hard to do then what you have to go through now. We are lucky we don't have to go through that now.
4) Make a link to the activity from your blog.
