rev mike lowery

for culture shock week one of the events was a speech by rev. Lowery. rev Lowery gave the benediction to Barack Obama when he was elected and was a very important activist in the civil rights movement. i wasnt all that thrilled to go to the event but in the end i am really happy i did. i thought it was really funny and i learned a few things. i didn't know that he gave the benediction to the election, or that he was a major helper with the civil rights movement.

i enjoyed this speech because it was not just about saying hoe minorities have struggled and most still are and the stufff we hear everyday. it was about his past experiences and how hes seen change. he was really funny too. when he talked about the political parties was hilarious and the choir. and when he talked about Obama calling him and telling him he'd have to check.

the one thing i did not like was that they let that russian girl up to the microphone. o god that was bad. i have no idea what that crazy girl was thinking but man. i wanted to slap her. that was not a question it was a speech and it had nothing to do with him or MLK or anything to that matter.
