Earlier this morning, I was just getting out of bed when my mama came into my room. She had told me to hurry up that President Eisenhower was at our house! I was being escorted to school by the US Army. I was in an army jeep with huge machine guns attached and following us above was a helicopter. The President must have found out what was going on and how we were being treated.
We were finally able to attend the school, but we all had revived very mean remarks from the white children that attended Central High. We were not allowed to be in any of their classes and the nine of us were to be together at all times. Today at school i was called a nigger, pushed down stairs, shoved into lockers and threatened with dynamic acid. I was terrified but I said to myself it is all for the goodness of my education.
