Neighborhood
Considering the legacy o f Martin Luther King Jr., how do
you see the fight fo r equality and justice today?
We all get to sit on the
same buses and share the
drinking fountains. With
a growing Hispanic
population, I wonder if
they should teach Spanish
in schools.
Justice is crazy; especially
with the federal govern­
ment. They have got all o f
us out there in the numbers
(past 122nd Avenue).

I think people have more
equal rights than before.
We have a lot o f diversity
in our school, and we get
along with each other.
It's working, but
it’s slow. We still
have some issues
out there.

Living the Legacy
Not good at all. Our
country should be run a
little better, and people
should be heard more.
God created us all
equal, and I believe that
is where it should be.
