do you knowhow brave you are in fighting for what is right. Many adults do not dare voice their opinion but you all took a stand. Please don't give up the fight. Did you know that the civil rights movement in the 1960's was not just led by the adults but by the young people. One group called SNCC- Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee actually helped black people in Mississippi to win the right to vote in their state. Before the young people got involved these people weren't allowed to vote. The members of SNCC taught in a "freedom school" and helped youth and adults learn about their rights as citizens. These young people worked hard and sometimes felt like giving up but they were determined to make a difference and stand up for what was right. So stay strong, young warriors your ancestors would be very proud of you !!!

I think we will now up the fight. I think these is a cizl right monent.
bout we are litle kids needing something like a new school they had wood at the property that they were going to biulding the author siad that we are warriors we will keep up the fight . we will not stop the fight.
In your story you said you said we were a group of young kids could do all that by they self.if we don't get a new school. we took them around the school.

therese had and idea. and she we should go to a school and said we need a new school. And if we don't get a new school we will go on srak. and we will not come to school. then the thecher will not get paid.we will stay at home.
