I think it is ridiculous that places are still have racist issues. The establishment could easily have told the woman that if she was threatened, she could leave.

I have a dream assignment

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character."

This quote signifies how he believed that the color of someones skin meant more than what they did. someone who was white would have more oppurtunities, or be chosen first because of their color, not their ability.

This pertains to the time period because of the segregation that was taking place. Black people were not afforded the same oppurtunities as white people.

I believe that the boys should still be tried as juveniles. They are still underage and should be tried appropriately. I also believe that their identity should remain a secret since the public has no need to know who they are until the trials. there may not be much of anything society can do to prevent this without invading our privacy or affecting our freedoms.
