  2. 1.I think Jamal's grandfather was so unhappy when Jamal fought to sit in the back of the bus because a seat is a seat and it shouldn't matter where you sit.Like Rosa Parks,she didn't give up her seat to a white man.She could have just wen't to the back of the bus.

  15. 5. I would like to watch a movie when the whites and the blacks could not come together then write a story about how you would react if you were back in Martin Luther King time. Then we can have ice cream and cake,cookies and soda Then we will do a activity with all of us to show how and what he went through back in his time. If he was still living i would throw a big birthday day bash for him.

    Martin Luther King Jr was a hero because on page 547 it said he made a speech about black and white people should join the white people so they can make equal events.
