Finally found a software that worked. Still very frustrated. Finished though!

Monday in class we talked about segregation in schools and whether or not it existed today. In California, there was a racial incident. A few white students hung nooses from the trees. As a result a few African American students beat up the white kids and were sent to jail on attempted murder. There was controversy about how a schoolyard beating could turn into attempted murder. Friday we didn't have class because of a snow day. My last post should have been about Wednesday and Thursday.

Thursday in class we watched a video about Emmett Till. He was a twelve year old boy that was from the north. He was murdered during a summer he spent at his uncle's down south. His body was thrown in a river. His mother decided to have an open casket to show that it was still happening. It sparked Civil Rights movements. Friday in class we learned about the bus boycotts. A number of African Americans protested about the unfair bus rules in hopes of putting them out of business. From these people, Rosa Parks emerged as a favorite rebel. She refused her seat to a white man and was arrested. Thousands, even millions of African Americans refused to give their seats up or even take the bus as a way to show their beliefs.

Yesterday in class we talked about the Scottsborough Boys trials. They were a group of African American boys that were accused of assaulting and raping two white women at a train station. We wrote diary entries from different people's in the case perspective such as the two women raped, two boys on trial, and the jury members. Today in class we talked aboiut segregation in schools. We read differenmt documents and talked about the Brown v. Board of Education of Topequa. He wanted equality in the school systems and for the segregation to be eliminated.
