Reflection Paper V

I would like to be one of the leaders of the “Little Rock Nine” because I will have the opportunity to express the feeling of those African-Americans student who was not consider as equal as the others simply because they were black. When you are reading about this story that happen in 1957 in an American High School, it feels so painful to think about all those mistreatments that black had to face. Isn’t school supposed to be teaching students about equality and acceptance? Didn’t church at the time talk about love and compassion for the other? So I still cannot find the reason of white men cruelty at the time and even now not everybody can accept themselves be equal to black African-American. If I was one of those students I will have felt offended, inferior and uncomfortable. Because how could I be in an environment where I am not accepted and not treated like the other students? It is like being in prison, I will not feel the liberty of life and I will see that my life is a misery since everywhere I go they treat me different of they look at me like I am a complete stranger, I really feel the pain of those students that were considered like people that were going to court. As one of those student I will protest for my rights and make the world see that as a black person, I am not different for any other nations because only one person put us in this world and he did not say anything about anyone being superior that the other. All those racist movement at the time was so unintelligent, after all the help that white men got from black in order to gain their independence. Maybe if I were leaving at that the time I will have being one of those leaders and might have been killed already because I have protested for my rights as a human being.
