My name is Robert Jackson, and I'm from Denton, TX. I graduated from Billy
Ryan High School in the Krunkest Class of '01. I am a Second-year CAAS major
student at the University of Michigan, and I have plans of becoming a very
successful African-American lawyer of Civil Rights. My plans in life are to
start an African-American law firm, specializing in Civil Rights. I feel Black
lawyers should have a place to go without being "hated" upon, and I feel with
the help of others, we can establish a very prestigious Black law firm. All I
have to say to people is, "Tell me I can't do it, then watch the results." I
love sports, mainly football. Football is my life, so I always play when I get
a chance. I love Gospel, R&B, and Rap music, and I love to watch movies.

Ken Nadolski's: I am a junior majoring in political science and history. People usually ask
what the hell I will do with that. I want to go to Grad School, maybe Law
School, and see myself doing something, either in politics or education, that
makes a positive impact and helps people. I got involved in "Get on the Bus"
because I am interested in social change and realized what an amazing
opportunity this class was. I am from Bay City, Michigan, birthplace of Madonna
and the home of the Bay City Riverwalk and the famous Fireworks Festival, known
throughout the Tri-City Area. The Bay City Rollers, however, are actually not
from Bay City, sorry Jenny...

My name is Jerome Williams and I am from the greatest city in the world- Los Angeles, California. I am a second year student here at The University of
Michigan and I am majoring in sociology. I ultimately plan on going to business school to obtain an MBA, and one day becoming the CEO of a large
corporation. In my free time, I enjoy music, cinema, books, rapping and a lot of sleep-something I have longed for since coming to Michigan. I feel privileged to
be a part of this class and to have had the opportunity to "get on the bus". Both the curriculum and the trip were eye-opening, causing me to better understand
the Civil Rights Movement and the need for social change.
