Dear Thurgood Marshall,

I am not wanted here. There are people surrounding me with signs and calling me names. I can not, and will not let this deter me. You have paved the way for me, and I will not let you down. Giving up is an idea whose explanation is far beyond my knowledge.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Thurgood Marshall,

I have been enjoying my education in public school. Since integrating, I have learned to read and write, and my speech has increased greatly. My friends are all afraid that public school is dangerous and that they may be harmed upon enrollment. I assure them that I see very little troubles in my classroom time. There superstition is far beyond my knowledge.

Sincerely,

Alibaster Cauley
