1. What do I think about the article?
I think its horrible because I thought racism and discrimination were over. They should not be threatened by african americans in the 21st century. We need to all live as brothers and sisters no matter what color we are.

I have a dream assignment

 "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character."

What did he mean by that comment? Well he wants to have a day where they wont be judged by the color of their skin but by how they act and how friendly they are. He wanted people to live in harmony and act like they are all the same color.

How was it relevant to the time period? During this time period whites didnt care how they acted they just cared what they looked like. If they were black then they werent allowed to be in certain restraunts or bathrooms.

1. Yes they should because they commited a felon that adults are sometimes put to death for. If they get adult punishment then everything will be a little bit better knowing they are locked away for a while to not harm anymore people.

2. No they should be identified because they should be tried as adults and their identities are identified.

3. Teach the children to not do things like this and show them the consequences for commiting such heinous crimes.
