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.

with all deliberate speed
This part of the book was very interesting to read. I was personally glad to read about how Sullivan, although he received many threats against him before the school was going to open, he still hadn't backed out. Also how his son, a white senior in boarding school, immediately agreed to spend his senior year with the black students. This reflects on the fact, that not every white person was a racist in the past. However, some parents were worried about their kids safety on the first day of school, because of all the threats that were being made by the racists. Moss made a great reflection by joining the school for my opinion, in my viewpoint it helped change the way many white people viewed integrated schools. The documentary we watched reflected the type of relationship Moss had with the black students at Prince Edward County, and it reflected a bright friendly relationship.
