Supreme
Court
It was 20 years ago when I was in
high school and I remember that I really wanted to go to a certain
private school. My parents didn't want me to go to school there at
first, though, because I'm a black and they found out the school was
only for white students.
I was so mad when they told me this
that they decided to take it to court. I didn't want them to because
I felt funny about it. But my parents told me that they were going to
fight for my rights to go to that private school. So I went along
with them.
When it went to court my parents told
the judge that if white students can go to a private school, then
blacks can too. They told the judge that people have equal rights in
the United States. But the judge wouldn't do anything about it, so
our lawyer brought the case to the Supreme Court.
It was my first time in the Supreme
Court. I was so amazed at how the Supreme Court looked inside. When
the judges heard the case, my parents said the same thing that they
had the first time.
It took almost a year to win the case
so I could go to the private school. And after I started classes
there, a lot of white students looked at me funny, and they were
against my white friend just because she was friends with
me.
I graduated from there, and in my
graduation speech I told those who came to my graduation that
everybody is basically the same except for our different colors. I
thought that no one would clap, but instead, the whole crowd cheered
because they all knew what I said was true.
My advice to people who have bad
feelings for someone because of the color of their skin or slant of
their eyes is that inside everyone is made the same. You should
respect that, no matter what. They are just the same as you are, so
give them a chance to be your friend!
