Imagine living in a world full of judgment; living with no control or freedom. A world full of critics and ambition. Take a second to think what it would be like. Thought about it now?

They agreed on serving the time, and they didn’t disagree, however, as time passed the jails were getting more and more full from other free rider, that’s when the Interstate Commerce Commission announced that the terminals would be desegregated.
