Answer: This will take a big step to having a black room with a white and showing that blacks can do the same as a white and everyone no matter who is equal.

What are people's attitudes towards civil rights/racial discrimination during this time period? Base your answer on the following quote.

"Rocking the boat" is making a huge flexible change and since it said people were already seasick means they are't ready to take a risk and let a black take a big position that would be an opportunity for Gale.

"You're going to rock the boat, Sayers- and there's plenty of people around who are already seasick." pg. 285

P. 290 Provide TE and explain what they mean.
