The Black Table explores the idea of race separation through the eyes of Lawyer Mulls. As a young child, Mulls couldn't face the idea of sitting at the “Black Table” .
“Why was it there? Why did the black kids separate themselves?”(Graham 1) says mulls His perspective was why separate yourself because of your race. Instead Mulls would choose to sit with the jewish boys, which attracted more attention than if he would just sit at his own table. Everyone around the world has this idea that it's the black race that gets all the focused attention. Even Mulls blames his race for the segregation, “... I still somehow managed to blame only the black kids for being the barrier to integration in my school and my little world.”(Graham 1)
