Reading through California's history in our social studies book has presented our class with many examples of discrimination. For example, Chinese immigrants came to California in the 1850's looking for a better lifetime by working in the railroad to get money. Although, they were given the most dangerous jobs, and were never thanked for their work. Even after the railroad was finished, the Chinese were mistreated and called "aliens". There were many other stories of discrimination in our state's history, like the "Okies", the gold rush, and internment camps. All of these make me almost ashamed to be a Californian, but I am not because I will try my best not to repeat the mistakes that our people have made in the past.

About the Blogger
Hi! I can`t tell you my name, but I will tell you a bit about myself. I am nine years old and in fourth grade. I have two sisters and one baby brother. My favorite subjects in school are math and writing. I spend most of my time at home reading. Sometimes I do this so much that I don`t notice when it is time for dinner! I do band after school and I also have private lessons. Anyway, I hope you like my blogs.
