Twelfth Journal: Metropolitan Museum Trip

We had a class trip to the Metropolitan Museum to see the Before Yesterday We Could We Could Fly. It was an exhibit about Seneca Village, a thriving black community where the Met and Central Park now stand. I was previously aware of Seneca Village before this exhibit but it was really cool to see what a home looked like in that era. It was always something I’ve read about but to actually see it was quite surreal. It was such a beautiful designed room that made you feel like you were actually in the room. I also though it was really cool that the Met acknowledged that their building stands where Seneca Village was and taken away to create Central Park
