On January 27th the sixth grade class at Durham Academy went to the Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, North Carolina. The trip was a big eye opener to many ideas; one was the Race Exhibit. The Race Exhibit was a really interesting way for the museum to show what race is and how it affects my daily life. The physical exhibit was nothing too interesting because it was just posters but the awareness of how race affects everyone was mind blowing.

Another exhibit was with dinosaurs which was one of my favorites. They had dinosaurs that literally looked like the real things, they even had real life bones!  After looking through all of the exhibits we went outside of the building and ate lunch in our groups. Lunch was delicious but I was way too excited for what was coming next! 

So, after lunch, we went walking around the capitol building. The exterior of the building had a bunch of different statues which was really cool. The entrance even had a memorial to World War ll which is my favorite history topic. Unfortunately, after looking at all the statues it was time to go home, so we piled up onto the buses and drove back to Durham Academy.
