My Experience Jacquelyn Hester Colleton-Akins

During the 1955 young African American children was used to go into the segregated public schools to pull down discrimination and open the doors for African Americans people. At the age of six years old Jacquelyn had to fight and work hard to fight discrimination. Her goals was to win equal rights for all African American people. Eating lunch in the cafeteria at a table by her self, enjoying her food then suddenly, I felt something hit me in my head and back messing up my clothes, she turned around to see what was going on and some food hit her in the face. Her struggles against harsh treatment, unfair laws, and against prejudice, and racism, she had to fight at a young age for equal rights.
