Yo,
When you get the chance, please post your thoughts on the Civil Rights seminar from Wednesday morning.
Your teacher, McCall Hanson, and I would like to know - specifically - what you learned from the two hour class.
Please tell us in a clearly written and well organized paragraph.
-Ned-

Civil Rights. Im gonna punch usamah in the face if he doesent shut up. I dont think that spokane was as bad a segragation area as the south. We werent open about it as the south was. As for if African Americans should have been violent or calm about the whole situation. I think violence is louder than words. Sadly it is true. Like when i just said i was gonna punch usamah in the face. If i asked him to quit saying things he wouldnt but a good ol' punch in the face would haha. I joke i joke i kid i kid.
We really didn't learn that much in the seminar. It was mostly about fairly well known segragation. We did learn that it wasn't really that bad compared to everyhwere else. We had segragated neighborhoods and thats about it. Just a few insults and some restraunts refused to serve blacks. We didn't have the KKK or mobs lynching blacks.
during our lovely lecture and powerpoint the nice lady showed us a time when spokane washington was at the boundrys of the civil rights movement of the sixties.
The powerpoint (which she read off of) told us a story of a sort of quiet war not seen in the south.
African Americans had the same basic rights as Europian American at the time. See they were allowed to enjoy movies together go to school together and have the same jobs together. Yet even through all of this the simple racism that had occured throughout all of America at the time, like the lovely idea that sperate drinking fountans should be used between the two races. Also a bit of racism that occured is through the realestate companys, they forced African Americans to buy houses in what they sectioned off as "black" nauberhoods. Yay civil rights
