I chose to post my blog about "The Plaintiff Speaks." It is unusual to hear a civil rights story from the point of view of an adolescent child. It was intriguing to learn what children had to go through, instead of just adults. The young girl had a trying childhood and showed a huge amount of courage attending a white high school for her senior year when she could have easily stayed at her original high school. I enjoyed reading this short story and learning what life was like for a black child growing up in the south during the civil rights movement.
