Today, I will be meeting with 3rd and 4th grade students to discuss the issues of slavery, what they know about slavery.

今天，我将与三年级和四年级的学生会面，讨论奴隶制的问题，以及他们对奴隶制的了解。

We need to learn about slavery because in the upcoming generations we can't all just believe that this country was always different races combined together.

我们需要了解奴隶制，因为在未来的几代人中，我们不能都认为这个国家一直都是不同种族融合在一起的。

We have to know what our history was. There was land taken from different races because they were that race.

我们必须了解我们的历史。曾有不同种族的土地被夺走，只因为他们属于那个种族。

And I don't feel like any of that is right because we're all human beings.

我认为这是不对的，因为我们都是人类。

Now we're allowed to do stuff that we couldn't do before. We have to know, this is why we're free and this is why we can do this.

现在，我们可以做以前做不到的事情。我们必须明白，这就是我们自由的原因，也是我们能这样做的原因。
