We were able to see pots and pans.  We also saw cookie and bread baking sheets.  Then we saw an ice water container.  After that, we saw a black cool looking stove.  The kitchen is small, and has only a little table with a little bit of things in there.

Question #6 - (75 Points) “Ruby the Brave”

# data[].attributes.body
Ruby Nell Bridges was born on Sept. 8, 1954, in Tylertown, Mississippi. She moved with her parents to New Orleans when she was 4 years old.  Ruby Bridges was born in 1954 and is still alive to this day.  She was one of the first African American children to integrate an elementary school in the Deep South region of the United States. In 1960, as a 6-year-old first-grader, she was the only black student to enter the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans.  In 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States declared racial segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional (see Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka). By 1960, however, several Southern states still had no black students enrolled in public schools with white students. That year, a federal judge ordered that New Orleans public schools desegregate at the beginning of the 1960 school year.  Bridges was taught by a white teacher named Barbara Henry, and she was the only student in her class for the entire school year. By the time Bridges entered second grade, Frantz had been successfully integrated. There were no more protests, and Bridges was able to attend the school unescorted. Later, Bridges graduated from Francis T. Nicholls High School (now Frederick Douglass High School), an integrated high school in New Orleans.

In 1999, Bridges founded the Ruby Bridges Foundation in New Orleans to promote tolerance through education. In 2001, she received the Presidential Citizens Medal, an award given to distinguished U.S. citizens. Bridges wrote about her first-grade experience in  Through My Eyes (1999).

Question #5 - (50 Points) Sequence the Life of Harriet Tubman

# data[].attributes.body
Harriet Tubman was born a slave.  She would protect and stand up for other people that were not treated nicely. An oveerseer threw a metal object which hit her head, and fainted.  Time passed, and she decided to run away to Philadelphia in the north.  Then, she went to south to help take her family to the country of Canada.  Harriet Tubman was a conductor that helped slaves escape to the north, through secret routes.  She would take them to safe houses, and the signal was a lantern that was lit.  Also, she made 15 trips to the south.
Also, she helped free more than 300 slaves. Harriet Tubman worked as a cook, nurse and spy for the North. For the rest of her life she decided to speak for peoples rights, and women's rights.

A new person that we learned about was Frederick Douglass.  He was born in 1818 and passed away 1895.  Born a slave, Douglass became a noted reformer, author, and orator. He devoted his life to the abolition of slavery and the fight for black rights.  Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was born in Tuckahoe, Maryland, near Easton, probably in February 1818.    At the age of 8, he was sent to Baltimore to work for one of his master's relatives. There, helped by the wife of his new master, he began to educate himself.  In 1838, the young man fled from his master and went to New Bedford, Massachusetts. To avoid capture, he dropped his two middle names and changed his last name to Douglass.  In 1845, Douglass published his autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.   In the early 1840's, he protested against segregated seating on trains by sitting in cars reserved for whites. During the American Civil War (1861-1865), Douglass helped recruit African Americans for the Union Army. He wrote two expanded versions of his autobiography— My Bondage and My Freedom (1855) and Life and Times of Frederick Douglass (1881). He died on Feb. 20, 1895.
