Separate but not equal

One day on the trip we went to Little Rock, Arkansas. We saw Central High School, famous for nine black children who went to an all-white school. I learned when the school year started. They had to wait at least four weeks just to walk in the school and have a whole day of school. After, when we saw the school that was all white, we went to the school that was all-black. The name of the school was Dunbar High School. Dunbar High School was so different on the outside from Central. The bricks, windows, reflection pool and steps were different from each school. With central high school they spend $1.5 million dollars on the school compared to Dunbar, where they only spent $0.5millon dollars. Everyday we've been on this trip I've learned more and more. My learning has not stopped and I'm going pass my learning on with everybody else.
