Little Rock Nine

I really enjoyed the youtube video we watched in class about the Little Rock Nine. I had never heard anything about it before and that video sparked lots of interest in the situation. After class I found lots more of information about it. That would be so hard to go through and to be a parent of one of those children and know what you are letting them go through. They made a huge impact in history, and will forever be remembered for how brave they were. It really made me think about how large of impact that would make on your life. That is not an issue most people have to deal with on an everyday basis. Even though that was a long time ago, it got me thinking how we still have a lot of discrimination in the world, sometimes not to that extreme, but there is still a lot. I really liked how I believe it was Brazil, just went by the color of your skin for demographics. Everyone just gets to choose their own skin color and it doesn't matter what your family or anyone else says. It really shows how individuals can make up a family. Several people in my family are adopted, and I hope they never ever feel like outsiders because their color of skin is not the same as everyone elses in the family. It really shows that a family is just all about love.
