Kailon CP #2

Today, I met with my conversation partner for two sessions. The first session started at 10:00 am and the second session started at 11:00 am. During the first session, my conversation partner and I talked about history. This conversation was in response to the guiding question: "What is an important person in the history of your country?". My conversation partner, Jean Yangia, told me about the history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We talked about Leopold and Belgium's colonization of the Congo. Jean also told me about a man by the name of Patrice Lumumba that is revered as a hero in his country due to the fact that he fought for the independence of The Congo. In turn, I told Jean about two people that I view as not only heroes, but martyrs as well. These two people are: Nat Turner and John Brown. I told Jean about Nat Turner's slave rebellion, and John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation!
