What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork:

Last Friday we visited MCNY. Specifically the Activist New York exhibit. We learned about different activists and activist organizations who fought for the rights that they deserved.
Some activists we learned about were the Young Lords who fought for clean streets when the Sanitation department was not willing to clean their part of the city. The Young Lords were Black and Latino and a part of the black panther party.
Overall it was a great experience and I definetly recommend it to anyone.
