Summary of Class 3/5-3/6

Yesterday we talked the whole class about segregation primarily in schools. There was this idea of "separate, but equal". Many people were fine with this saying that blacks are more comfortable with blacks as whites were more comfortable with whites. Other people even stated that blacks should go back to their homeland which was Africa.People were extremely disturbed by what other people had to say and they  Many believed that when they were separate, it was taking away the learning from them. Today in class, we spent the whole time watching a video. This video was about the Emmett Till case, in which he was warned before going to the South, but still proceeded in whistling at a white lady. With this action, came consequences. Emmett Till was later found killed in a river. The husband of the lady he whistled at admitted to whipping Emmett for his behavior and was found innocent because they couldn't prove that the body was Emmett. Later in the husbands life, he admitted, in a book to killing Emmett, but it was too late. This case really disturbs me and shows how far a country can come over the years, proved now.
