I really thought the Tunnel of Oppression was interesting. Going into it I didnt have a very good attitude because I figured it would just be the normal, cliche stuff that you always see at those kinds of events. However, the way it was presented and the information given really was more interesting than I thought it would be.
One of the two rooms I liked the most was the first one about African oppression. It was just crazy to listen to those people's stories about how they themselves and their loved ones had been tortured, raped, and killed. Even their innocent children were hurt in unimaginable ways.
I also really enjoyed the schizophrenia room. I thought that room was really creative, because most of the time when you think of oppression you dont think about schizophrenics. But that's kind of what this whole Tunnel was about; yea, there is always the typical oppression like that of the Africans, but there is oppression in other ways too, like the way society treats schizophrenics.
Overall, I found the Tunnel of Oppression a very interesting and enlightening experience, and I am glad I visited it.
