I really enjoyed the movie that we watched about janitors last week. It was super eye opening to me and really showed that every single individual has their own story for everything they do from their past. It was also really interesting to apply the double consciousness concept to this movie. I liked listening to them tell the ups and downs of their lives and how they make the very best of everything they were given. I can relate a lot so I think that is why it spoke to me so loudly...I wish we could have watched the ending though! This movie made me think of a custodian I had in elementary school that I am still really good friends with! He was the kindest man and always looking out for me. He always had a smile on and his chin up! I hope a lot more people get the chance to watch this because I think so many people categorize custodians as being less than them, when really they love what they're doing and people should see and support that.
I really think this photo speaks for custodians. They put this picture together from the Washington University because they were cutting pay for custodians. Custodians really do all of the dirty work for it to be pretty and nice for everyone else. Props to this artist..
