Today was very eye opening to the things that happened in the past. It was very heartbreaking hearing about the people killed because of racism. Before today I never really saw pictures or heard stories about people murdered for the color of their skin. The four boys that decided to sit at the lunch counter were very brave. I never would have done what all those students did. I would be too afraid of what someone could do or say to me. The part that impacted me the most was when I learned about all the things they did to the freedom riders. It saddened me to know that they had so much hatred for people that they didn't know. Although today was hard I'm ready for the days to come.
