Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 101 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing, reading, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.

Desegregation
This photograph or painting reminds me of parts the reading in Something Must be done about Prince Edward County where Black children had to be escorted to Schools when they wanted desegregated schools and a few schools were ruled to be desegregated. Black children and their parents were scared because whites retaliated and this was causing injuries and whites would attempt to spit and throw garbage on them. Even though they faced such prejudice blacks still fight so hard and put up with whites crap to get equal rights. They needed diversity even if it meant being chaperoned to school until it they felt it was safe enough to go alone.
