Mississippi Burning

In class, we have seen a film, called Mississippi Burning. Later we had a test about this film. We had different tasks to choose. I selected to write about Mississippi Burning and to reflect in President Obama. Here is my work.

The film "Mississippi Burning" is based on a true story. It takes place in a small town in Mississippi, in the year 1964. Three young civil rights workers were killed by a group of police offer’s and Klansmen. They shoot the civil rights workers and deposit their bodies in an earthen dam at a nearly farm.

Mississippi Burning is a film that shows a lot about how racism has affected the community before. It shows how some people treated blacks, and how they were divided. This film is even more touching because it is based on a true story. Racism has fortunately become much less the last 50 years. Today, there is not segregation. Everyone lives together in the same society. There are still some racist groups, but they are not powerful. A good example was when Obama became president. That a black should "control" the United States had never happen before. It shows how much us people have changed the last 50 years. Obama works very well in the United states today. I think he has made America a better place to live. Many people has huge respect, and are very proud to have Obama as the president.

I think it is lovely to see how great progress we have made together, but it is still possibility for improvement.
