Prince Edward Chapter 12 response

I feel the short memoirs told in the twelfth chapter probably happened to thousands of African American families. These memoirs tell us real life events that happened to families during the Virginia school closures.  The families were living normally, until the schools closures which compromised the educations of many African American children.  Parents of these children did whatever they could to get their kids an education because they believed education was essential to their child's success in life.  Children of the same family were sent to other places to attend school.  This ultimately led to their families being split up.
