 Hi my names Ralen and for this quarter benchmark we had to look up three songs from 1973 or before, not from United states or Canada and one of our choice. With the songs we found we had to relate the lyrics to African American history and see how everything tie together. This benchmark was challenging and fun at they same time it was hard to find the right song by the artist so we can get it together but fun to listen and explore music you wouldn't really listen to. On my page i have chosen three different artist and went not just on surface to relate but to depth. I didn't just stay with one type of genre but i used three different types reggae, hip-hop and Latin. I hope you enjoy my page and if you have any comments or anything you can reach me at rrobinson@scienceleadership.org
