Adrenaline rushed through my tensed body as though I inched toward the edge of a cliff ready to jump off. Governor Hutchinson just rejected our plea to send the Dartmouth back to England, and everyone in Boston couldn’t take much more of England’s petty games of taxation and their seemingly unlimited power over the colonies. Once the governor’s answer came to everyone at the Old South Meetinghouse, I think we all felt something needed to be done to send a message to England that we had enough…

different ethnic backgrounds attended school together. I say this because I came from a country where there wasn’t much diversity. It’s hard to imagine that just 50 years ago people lived in a racially divided America. So how did we end the racial divide in our school system?
