Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 101 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing, reading, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.

Response to Little Rock Arkansas
After watching that video on the Little rock 9, it made me realize how bad racism still was during this time, not only in the south but everywhere in the country. Its crazy how they actually had segregated places like the colored movie theaters and colored waiting rooms. Until president Eisenhower decided we can't have this anymore and so did the supreme court and he said mobs cannot override this. Then when blacks and whites went to school together its crazy how they would get beat up everyday and no one would do anything about it. Even other white kids who would be friendly towards the blacks would get beat throughout some course of the day whether it would be in school or after school.
