Museum Visit

I really enjoyed this visit to the MSU Museum! I don't think I would have paid as much attention to the exhibits that we viewed if I had gone alone. When filling out the questions assigned and asked to pick a narrative, I chose Rebecca Lobo. I thought it was really interesting that there was more than just diversity of race covered in this exhibit, but also gender. Her narrative was about how she began playing on the boys' basketball teams because there were no teams for the girls. Her mother told her never to be limited by her gender but to do what her heart told her to. I was really drawn to this piece because my mother always told me this exact thing, to never feel limited by my gender. I played basketball from elementary school up through high school and always knew who Rebecca Lobo was, which is another reason why this exhibit caught my eye.

While walking around and exploring all of the exhibits, I really liked the fact that they were split half and half of the Spanish and English language. Each half had the exact same paragraph written which, I thought, was really cool. You could chose which half to read and gain the exact same information from either side. To me it showed equality.
