Samantha’s History Project!!!!!By Samantha Smith*

Introduction

My family doesn’t know what country we came from, what language we spoke, etc. So what I did was I asked my Mom’s mom and my Dad’s Aunt (Not included) about their

history. Read on and find out more.

Mother’s Side:A Historian is the Best of All!!!!!

The other day, I was talking to my Mom’s mom…

She said that the foods she ate were Southern foods such as Spaghetti,

Porckchops, and Chicken. She grew up in Gary, Indiana and still lives there. Grandma speaks English. She was born somewhere

around 1940.

Mother’s Side:Economics Rocks!!!!

Grandmother had a job. She worked as a clerk in a steel mill where steel is made. That’s how she made a living. She was a regular kid just like me a

while back.

Mother’s Side:Go Ask the Geographer!!!!

The place where my Grandmother grew up (Gary, Indiana) is kind of like Downtown Detroit. It has old buildings

and houses. The climate and temperature are similar and they are

exactly an hour behind us.

Mother’s Side:Political Science is great too!!!!!!!

When my Grandmother was born there was segregation. That’s when blacks and whites

are separated in lots of different ways. Different drinking fountains, different

bathrooms, and even different waiting rooms in train stations. It was one of the most

horrible moments in American History. In Gary, Indiana, segregation involved black

and whites living in separate parts of town.

Mother’s Side:Political Science is great

too!!!!!!!!

Grandmother was part of American Culture starting when

she was born. When she ate Southern foods, such as

Spaghetti, Porckchops, and Chicken, that was part of

American Culture.
