Racial Discrimination In The 1960's

It is dark, cold, he cannot see where they are. He hears their laughter calling out his name. He wonders, “Why are they after me?” He can hear their footsteps rustling in the fallen leaves. He is out of breath; he needs to take a break. He is weak, struggling to run away. The footsteps get closer and closer until they finally catch him. They lock him up in chains and take him back to their home. He is now their slave forever. Racial discrimination has affected many people in the past, all leading to racism today.
