The MCNY was not super beneficial to our group. However, it made us aware of a group called “Young Lords” who were a group similar to the Black Panthers. The Young Lords who began a gang but transformed into a Puerto Rican activist group.

However, the MCNY did teach me more about how to be an activist. I learned about many strategies to have ones voice heard. For example, MLK Jr. used the strategy of peaceful protesting. I believe peaceful protest is a very fair way of protest because it works showed my Martin Luther King. Peaceful protesting is good because it doesn’t hurt anyone physically.

However, it was interesting to learn about activists. It made me wonder, how should a young person like myself try and be heard? How did someone like Greta Thunberg get started? I think that the museum did not answer that question.
