Journal 9
Question 1
The section discusses how a student known Junior would come to school with items that were predominantly associated with which people. Junior would always try out white folk’s stuff, something that was not very common among the colored students. This is an indication of racism and discrimination in the society based on the color of the people.
Question 2
A line or phrase that I found to have particular significance is where it is stated, there were things that black people just weren’t supposed to do (Thompson-Spires, 175).
