In Teammates about Jackie Robinson, many of the white baseball players hated him, but one stood up for him.

We read a book in 2nd grade about Martin Luther King, Jr., who had to stand up for his rights, too. He had a friend who was white, and his friend's dad got mad at him because he didn't want him playing with a black boy.

When Rosa Parks was sitting on the bus and her feet hurt, there were more white people coming on the bus, and she stood up for herself by refusing to give up her seat to a white man.

When Martin Luther King, Jr., was alive, he convinced everybody to be together and white people and black people together. He made perfect speeches like the "I have a dream speech," and he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

MLK Jr. wanted people to be equal,

so white people and black people

could hang out together and do

everything together and use the

same stuff.

Harriet Tubman helped slaves escape on the Underground Railroad (the only railroad without a train or a track).

I thought about Rosa Parks, who stood up for her rights and was really brave, just like Ron in the book. They were brave even when the police were called.
