Here is our fabulous group of 2018 in the heart of Harlem, New York, indeed at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. This was one of our most exciting and informative days in which the beating heart of American culture was opened to us through the oratorical powers of Cedric our African American Guide, here intoning the last few lines from Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise”: You can read the whole poem here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46446/still-i-rise
In the wake of this wonderful input our students all had to complete daily blogs on their experience in New York. These included blogs on literature, on drama, on art and on their wider experience of New York culture. The quality of their output and their artistic assembly of all their impressions was awe inspiring. Here are, the 7 Best Blogs from our wonderful group of ACU students. Enjoy their impressions of life in the Big Apple during the winter of 2017/18:
