We did not have school on Friday, March 8th, because of a snow day.
Today, March 11th, we talked about segregation in modern days. We learned about the Jena Six, who were teens who were racist and beat a white man unconscious. One of them was charged with attempted murder. Nooses were also hung by whites in a tree, which was a reminder of lynchings. We also learned about Little Rock, where the president sent in armed troops to make sure the African-Americans would get to and from classes safely. We then talked about segregation in our schools. Though people are not segregated by race, most people separate themselves into groups and cliques.
