National Anthem‚ which has created much controversy in our country. Personally‚ I firmly feel those NFL players created this protest for the right reasons. Their protest leads me to believe in their cause for equality. Those who play in the NFL have an influential voice that can call for others to join in for change.

The book Anthem in my opinion the first few chapters possessed its dull moments but then gradually got more and more interesting. In this reflection I will be telling you my experience with the book.
