Nancy Lee’s point of view in “One Friday Morning” creates tension by the end of the story because she wanted to make a change. Nancy Lee wanted to make sure everyone has the same rights no matter their race. According to the text, “As a teacher in the public schools of this city, I myself will go before the school board and ask them to remove from our system the offer of any prizes or awards denied to any student because of race or color.”(Hughes) This shows her and a teacher want to make a difference and try to change the school’s system. They want to make sure no other other kid has to go through that again. They intend to stand up to the board and make sure no one else will get denied from receiving an award or prize because of their skin
