slavery. The video makes my view point change against the people in that era
because some of them help to carry out the abolishment of slavery in the
Americas some of them were high-ranking officials, famous authors and other
inflectional people in the American and across the world. The poem game me bit
of lingering eerie feeling of sadness because even after slavery was abolish

Oral Presentation

A poem on abolishment of slavery

Name of poem: Freedom

The roses have wilted

The violins are dead

Chains all around me

Round and round in my head

Sometimes I wonder if I am still bound

Which my fragile soul cannot withstand

But in reality, it is all real

I often wish not to open my eyes

To see this world

But lifting me from my restraints \

Allowing me too open my eyes

Then finally I am set free
