The Weeksville Heritage Center (WHC) is a museum that is dedicated to preserving the history of the once African American community named Weeksville. Weeksville was America's first free black community that's was founded by James Weeks. Now it is part of Crown Heights and Bedford- Stuyvesant. Weeksville was a hub were many runaways and fugitive slaves went to escape slavery. By the 1850s, Weeksville started to become more established as more than 500 people came to this community for the opportunity of gaining land and using their new found status as a homeowner to vote. This community was built on several key values like education, religion and taking care of women, children and the elderly. Which led to many predominant African Americans to help establish churches, schools and business so that those African Americans with talents were able to thrive. A few places that were built was to help to educate others were the Colored School Number 2, now known as P.S 243 The Weeksville school, Zion Home for Colored Aged, Howard Colored Orphan Asylum, which many people go to read books and the Berean Missionary Baptist Church, which was the first church to be built from the ground up. The home I went in is a single story, double house from the 1860s. This house was around the Civil War era, here is where low-income status like cooks, musicians, artists, day laborers, artisans. Like what I have read in the textbook in history class, people during this time lived in poor conditions. This house was also a headquarter for the African Civilization Society or ACS which is an organization founded by Henry Highland…
As an athlete you can get to see the different types of attitudes and emotions other athletes have, good or bad. In high school I started playing sports which really got my competitive side out but it also came with emotions I didn’t know how to control at the time. My first time playing volleyball I started off by practicing and playing with the varsity team at school. When season came along I didn’t make the cut for varsity so I was put on the J.V. team with girls who didn’t know how to play that well. That’s when my emotions started to show because I wasn’t used to playing with a team where I was the only one that knew what we had to be doing. After that season was over the next two years I was on varsity and I was still not able to get ahold of my attitude and emotions. I was aware that this was a problem for the team and I and that I looked bad but I didn’t know how to control it so I let it be. My last season I had learned to control myself but it was very limited and it wasn’t enough. When I finally graduated my coach asked me if I would like to help him with the team, I agreed. I started going to their games and practices and noticed two of the girls had the same attitudes as I did and felt how frustrating it was to deal with them but I decided not to pay attention to them. It was at one of their games when it hit me and I realized that I used to look as bad as they did and I was really embarrassed of myself. At that point I made myself a promise that I would keep my emotions and attitude on check if I played in college I wanted a fresh start and I’ve kept my promise till this…
It was 1620 when the Pilgrims had decided to venture for unfound land and cross the Atlantic Ocean.

This group of Indians lived in villages that were on the coast of what we know today as, Michigan and Rhode Island. Their houses were known as, “Wigwams” that were made of poles and tree barks. The use of this kind of shelter held on as a tradition for many many years.…
