We all should know how the noisome Jim Crow laws were in the South and how desegregation was important to the African American race. When I think about desegregation in the south, Little Rock nine comes to my mind. There were nine students who wanted to go to a better school that offered better opportunities. The only problem was that the school were predominately white. In those times blacks could not attend the same schools as whites. Intransigently, with the ignorance of racism, a selected bunch did not want anyone except of their own kind to attend their schools. When the nine students who were far from being pusillanimous, maybe nervous, walked in that school for a purpose; to get a better education. Sadly, only one out those nine students remained anomalous about being the average African American who usually only having completed the eighth grade. This inspires me because not everyone who says they're for you are with you. You may have to travel some roads alone but in the end you'll notice that, that person or path was not for you in the first place. I value my education because not many people have this opportunity to get a college education. So I leave you with one of my quotes: An outstanding person stands out.
