"One More River to Cross" By Lawrence

Main Points:

• Segregation
• Progress
• Desegregation
• Dred Scott
• 14th Amendment
• Plessy v. Ferguson
• NAACP
• Brown v. Board of Education
• Codes of Power

The main Point of the reading written by Lawrence Tells us that the decision by the supreme court, while a good decision, was never truly encored until years later. This was truly enforced when the schools in Arkansas were desegregated, when the Governor stood in the door of there central high school. It took Federal troops sent by the resident to open the schools for all students of all races. This however was many years after the decision by the Supreme Court.

This article reminds us that there is hardly equality, because everyone needs special treatment to achieve there optimal learning, on any subject. However, the codes of power, to me seem very prevalent in this article. By having these codes involved in our education system, we hold everyone back not creating a conducive learning environment.
