little black girl to let her place to a white person, she didn’t obey to the driver
and she has been arrested and I saw in the journal that she has been
imprisoned, I found that shocking, and it’s because of this girl that there are no
more segregationist laws.
- Oh, you were there with Rosa Parks in the bus? that’s pretty impressive.
- I know, I’m really lucky, and now that I have superpowers, I can use them to
fight against racial inequality.
- What actions did u made to stop racial inequality?
- I made an association that boycott racist acts, we help people that have been
victim of that kind of acts by giving them a free lawyer for example, making
advertising campaigns, and that people is grouped up in the same place, they
can talk about each other experiences.
- That’s really nice! You can help a lot of people with that.
- Thank you, I always try my best to help people and I can’t really do much for
that with my super powers.
