Roll Of Thunder, Hear Me Cry

During this discussion board, I choose to take on the role of a history hound. While reading, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, I paused at each stunning reference of inequality between the “white schools” and the “black schools”. During chapter one, the book alludes to the fact that “white” students had transportation to school and better education facilities. Additionally, in the book, the quality of educational resources and textbooks the ”white“ schools had access to compared to the “black schools” was awful. I completely understand Little Man’s reaction to the used book given to him in class. The books given to Little Man and his classmates where worn, used, and labeled students at Great Faith Elementary and Charity school untastefully.
Eventually, after Brown verse Board of Education legislation determined that students have access to a free and public education for all students regardless of race. Follow the legislation, desegregation of schools became a key topic throughout the country and continues to be a hot topic among educators. Today, there is still a diverse difference in school funding and quality of education. Listed below are websites that give more information regarding Brown verse Board of Education and the legislations impact on education.
