Crisis

So I thought tonight I was just going to the movies. Well was I suprised. The movie was interesting and it deffinately opened my eyes to something I had never really known before. I felt very badly for Vivian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivian_Malone and James http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hood that were in some ways pawns to have to stand up for an entire race's fight. I couldn't imagine being that brave. It must have been frightening and a little nerve racking at some points for them. But that wasn't the surprising part, it was the conversation that followed. Now thats when things got interesting. I was really suprised at the words and accusations that were filling the room. I think a lot people walked away a little upset and felt as though they were put in a group that rightfully they should not have been put in. I have an anxious feeling for what the next few days will bring. I hope that things don't get out of hand and I hope that folks can peacefully talk about things and not accuse anyone. These wrongs happened long before I was born, the only thing I can do is teach to all and give all a fair chance.
