T: From picture three we can see a sign "White Waiting Room", why was there such a Sign?
Ss: Before 1950s in most southern states the government carried out the separation policy. The black people were not allowed to mix with the white people. Therefore they were restricted to use poor and uncomfortable public facilities.

Task two: Find the facts

T: If you were a black young student, you would have to go to a far-away school for schooling. On your way from and to school you would often be bullied by the white students. How would you feel if you suffered such unfair treatment?
Sa: I would feel very angry and take up actions to fight for better and fairer treatment.

However, this dream was only intended for the white people in the past. The black slaves were only liberated after Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was signed before the Civil War.
Sb: President Andrew Johnson wanted a government for white people because he looked down upon the black people, and his idea dominated the mainstream opinion of the white people. Therefore in America citizens were divided into two classes, the first class --- the white and the second class--- the black.

It was because of these outstanding black leaders that black people raised their awareness to fight for equality with the white people. Declaration of Independence was the nation's dream, and it was also for the black people. Their effort led to the Civil Rights Movement, which was the beginning to change black people's social position.

Sa: First I will tell him it is wrong to make fun of others. I will state my stand as the following. People come from different background, so their behavior and way of life vary. City children may be "cool" in the way they think right while country children may have their own way to be "cool". Therefore it's wrong to force one's opinion on others.
