@KYMAMI I'm black and I totally agree. I love being outdoors and when I talk to my friends about camping or something its like I've asked for an organ.
Everyone needs to spend some quality time every year in a wilderness area--not necessarily a national park, but they just need to GET OUT OF THE CITY !!!! Cities do nothing to invigorate the soul; what they do is cause us to lose touch with what is truly important in life, and become jaded, cynical, and mean. Nature invigorates us and helps us to free our minds from trivial human frailties and selfishness, and helps to generate a sense of connection to the earth and man's place on the earth.
Pretty surprising a well-traveled billionaire like Oprah hasn't been to a National Park. I can only imagine the percentage of Americans who haven't been to a national park. Visiting a national park is a transformative experience, one that can transcend no matter who you are, rich or poor, black or white.
@cannedkitty I agree...Whenever I see the pristine beauty of our National Parks, it always seems to remind me of what a truly great country we live in despite its difficulties.
The National Parks have a history of discrimination in hiring & killing Native Americans.. There was a documentary by Ken Burns that explains how African Americans were excluded from being hired for the many jobs during the building of the parks. Also, the parks back in the day did not allow African Americans to even visit the parks. Finally, the KKK would Lynch African Americans; therefore, African Americans would stay away. Also, you have to have a car to go, so many did not have cars.
