With All Deliberate Speed Response

Dickie Moss is a white male who was sent to a minority school when he was young because his father didn't want society to keep on living in prejudice. His father asked him to attend this school knowing he'd be the only white student there and told him he would give him 6 days to decide. Dickie's father wasn't going to force him to attend the school but without hesitation Dickie agreed to go. He also was against segregation and wished schools would integrate. I think its really awesome that there were some white people that actually stood against the immoral act of segregation. Dickie went on to teacher history at multiple minority schools for 25 years. He would share his stories of the past living in the time of segregation and racial discrimination. I respect that even though he knew he would be the only white person attending this minority school he still decided to go. Even as a kid he understood the negative effects of segregation and that's something most white adults couldn't grasp at the time.

  1. I like the point you made about how Dickie Moss knew he was going to be the only white man in the school and still decided to go. It not only showed the good in Dickie Moss for taking action but it also showed how not all white people were against integration.
