The New York tragedy.
Born 2009, M, from San pedro, MexicoLast summer, my family and I went to New York City. The tall buildings and busy streets were so cool. First, we went to Central Park, which was really big, so we got bikes. While we rode around, we saw lots of squirrels, and I told my mom,
"Let's see who spots the most squirrels."
We played, and I barely won by 5. After biking around Central Park, we took a snack break near the park. Then we went to Times Square. While walking,we heard some big crowds in the distance , I asked my mom,
"What's happening?"
"I don't know; let's check it out," she said.
We heard drums and people chanting, so I followed the sounds and found a big group of people with signs that said "Black Lives Matter."-I joined them and felt their strong feelings about fairness and equality. I asked a girl with a sign,
"Why are you here?"She smiled and said,
"I'm here because everyone should be treated fairly, no matter their skin color. It's important to stand up for what's right."
As we walked, more people joined the protest. We reached a big square where everyone stood together. A man next to me said, "Look around. We may be different, but we all want the same thing—equality." It felt like we were all talking and sharing ideas, like a big, colorful conversation.
Suddenly, we saw police show up, and the protest stopped. The police didn't want this to happen, and people explained to them. The cops talked to the civilians, and the civilians tried to convince the cops that they were doing it for a good cause until the police retreated and were suddenly on our side.
“Wow, this is amazing,” I thought in my head, seeing so many things happen as other things happened. I saw many things like people throwing colored bombs in the sky like they were rockets; everything happened so fast.
The most exciting part was when we all came together in the square. People of all backgrounds joined in, and it felt like we were making a big change. We shared stories, and it was like we were all friends standing up for something important.
After the protest, I thought a lot about what happened. It wasn't just a fun trip; it changed how I saw the world. "Today, we talked about big things," I thought. "People can really make a difference when they work together."
When we went back home, I promised myself to speak up for what's right and make sure everyone's voice is heard. It was like starting a new chapter, and I felt hopeful that we could create a world where everyone is treated with kindness and fairness.

01/26/2024Great story, I believe everyone should be treated fairly regardless of skin color. No one can choose his/her race as well as skin color from birth.
Thank you for rendering your voice and sharing this story with us.

01/26/2024We are all equal and we should love one another. The color of our skin has nothing to do with how we must see and treat each other. A great story right here.
