Dicky Moss

i found it pretty interesting how they turned  the entire aspect inside out and showed us how Dickie was on the complete opposite of the extreme side of the spectrum when it came to Prince Edward County and its bigotry. Here you had a Caucasian teen and his family being threatened and treated as "nigger lovers" for being the first to agree to integrate. It came as no surprise that they were not originally from PEC, so they did not have such a radical supremacist view that seem commonplace for Prince Edward County. Dickie's bravery, however, came in second to his classmates pain recounting the damage that these terrible racist policies caused on his and damn near all the African american families in the county.

  1. I like how you brought up the radical supremacist view. Work on capitalization.
