Cumming V. Richmond

In 1899, three families from Virginia endured the closing of the only public black high school in their area. They argued that their children should have the right to finish their education in a white school. The Supreme Court violated their "separate but equal" standards made only three years previously. They decided that if there was no public black school in the district then the students would have to do without an education.
I really hope there is no reason for me to defend my argument against this case. It is just simply not fair and the families who were victims of this racism were denied a simple request. This case is not very similar to the Salem Witch trials expect for the fact that injustice is a key player in both.

Relation To The Crucible

The only relation in my life I have to the Crucible is with John Proctor. John is the only character in this book that, so far, has it "all together" in his head. He is surrounded by people with different views than him and he is the only one thinking rationally about the whole situation. He knows that witchcraft is a rediculous assumption for the girls problems.
I can relate to Proctor by his personalitly. We both think rationally and solve problems by using reason rather than assumption by popular belief. He knows what his priorities are and doesn't allow others to walk all over him and change his mind by peer pressure. I respect his character and hope he keeps on keepin' on for the rest of the book.
