Questions Galore All Around

On his blog entry, Mateo compared Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave to the movie Django Unchained, and commented that the book didn’t offer much in terms of new truths about slavery. Although I agree with this to a certain extent, my blog entry focused on the point of view we get of slavery now, and how different it was back then. I discussed whether we would all be the same as the slaveholders were if we lived when slavery was legal, or if we would be as different as we say we would. Will people in the future view the legal struggles we have now (ie: gay rights) as we view the struggle for Civil Rights? The main similarity between our blog entries was the constant posing of questions to reflect on reading, although my questions were completely different to those Mateo asked.
