Taylar Hall- The Autobiography of Malcolm X
I chose to read the Autobiography of Malcolm X because I felt like it was something that I could relate to. I also wanted to know more about Malcolm X. Malcolm X was always seen as a violent man or the exact opposite of Martin Luther King Jr. In reality he was only preaching what he was taught, as well as what he believed to be true. The book covers his devistating childhood all the way through the many events that we would never have thought Malcolm X experienced. Reading his autobiography opened my eyes to the real meaning of why he was so violent. I gained a deeper understanding of why his mentality was the way it was. Althought it was a book of many pages and I was quite frightened by what I read at times, I can honestly say I learned so much from reading this book.

JP Hutto- Presidents Calling
I choose the JFK discussions involving himself and Gov. Rob Barnett. This discussion was between the President and a cooperative yet difficult governor. It was interesting to see their interactions with each other during this controversial topic. Personally I do not agree with them not allowing the student to attend the university. I feel that in the beginning the president is trying to get the student to attend. It took a turn when people started to riot and he decided to do what would keep people safe and take the student back out the university.
