MY NOTE to give you an idea how this lecture was:
• SomeMain Point in this lecture
o It is about freedom
o Women right to vote
o justice
o education is very important, but it is not enough, and it is not the only subject we have to work on it
o How can America be Great and better
o Black history is the America history
o Freedom is constant struggle
• There was interaction and enthusiasm
• The audience was a good listener and stood for the speaker throughout the lecture
• The audience was integrated throughout the lecture. The room is quiet because everyone is attracted to the speaker. Do not find anyone who is busy with mobile phones or side conversations
• For example, in the Question-and-answer (Q&A) sessionmicrophone battery endedSuddenly and the audience shouting because they wanted to hear every word from the speaker
• There were two kinds of applause after the end of his poverty and warm applause when the speaker says eloquent affect the audience and has repeated this repeatedly
• An example when she said women's suffrage and was ratified on August 18, 1920 BUT African-American women were increasingly marginalized they cannot vote SO how women was suffrage. It would take the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 before most African Americans in the South were registered to vote.
• Description of the place
o The room was very large and very suitable for the attendance
o Where the attendance filled 80%
o The arrangement of chairs was harmonic. The direction of the chairs in Milan is at the far right and north of the hall toward the direction of the speaker
o The air was clean, fresh and suitable for the size of the room. When the air is moderate and proportional to the size of the room and attendance. This contributes to the focus
o 3 screens conveying a clear picture of the theater
o Chairs was good enough for two-hour seating
o Lighting ........
o The voice of the speaker was very clear and it was clear to us that she was seasoned to speak because she knew the good distance between a microphone and her mouth
o Also the speakers that transmit sound were of high quality because there was no resonance and the sound was pure and net
