Civil Rights Project Reflection by Lennon T.

My subject was Sugar Ray Robinson. Sugar Ray was a professional boxer. He was born
on May 3 1921. He wasn’t allowed to eat in certain restaurants or watch movies in certain theaters.He won the world championship 6xs as a boxer once as a welterweight and others as a middleweight his record was 174-19-2 and he killed a person accidentally in the ring his name was jimmy doyle.

What I learned from this project was that he killed a person in the ring. He wasn’t allowed in certain places. He showed the world that African Americans can do anything that anyone else can. He wanted to bring people together not apart. He was asked to do segregated shows but he declined because he wanted it integrated.

What I liked from this project was we had a long time to work on it.

What I would change is nothing about the project.
