To the students of room 405.

Do you realize how 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 !!!
