AFRICA | AMERICAN STORIES: IDENTITY AND DREAMS

Personal History

I come from America. I come from people who love sports. I come from a big, cold town in New York City. I come from people that eat greens, rice, chicken, soup, canned foods and fruit. I come from people who listen to R & B and rap. I come from people who are churched. I come from people who wear clothing they like. I come from people who have brown eyes, dark hair and nice smiles. I come from caring, kind, mean, bad people too. I come from people who like to run. I come from people who were slaves. Wesley J., Hamilton Elementary
