 Some mornings, waking up in this new place, I dont know where I am. The apartment is tiny. The kitchen is not even a whole room away from the living room, just a few steps and a wide

doorway with not even a door separating it. Daddy sits by the
window staring out, hardly ever saying anything. Maybe he thinks if he looks long and hard enough, Denver will reappear..Maybe he thinks the tall gray buildings all smashed against each other will separate and squat down, that the Rocky Mountains will rise up behind them..

From Hush, by Jacqueline Woodson

Brown vs. Board of Education

- Walter Dean Myers

There was a time when the meaning of freedom was easily understood. For an African crouched in the darkness of a tossing ship, wrists chained, men with guns standing on the decks above him, freedom was a physical thing, the ability to move away from his captors, to follow the dictates of his own heart, to listen to the voices within him that defined his values and showed him the truth of his own path.

The plantation owners wanted to make the Africans feel

helpless, inferior. They denied them images of themselves as

Africans and told them that they were without beauty. They

segregated them and told them they were without value.

Slowly, surely, the meaning of freedom changed to an elusive

thing that even the strongest people could not hold in their
hands. There were no chains on black wrists, but there were the shadows of chains, stretching for hundreds of years back through time, across black minds.
