5E's class assembly

On 30th November 2012 class 5E did their class assembly about the heroes of America who ended segregation between black and white people. They started off by telling us (and acting!)  about The Greensboro Four, a member of the Greensboro Four is Franklin McCain. He and his 3 friends discussed a sit-in at Woolworths at 39th to stand up for their human rights. They went there the next day to purchase their lunch and ignored the 'we cater for white only' sign on the wall. They couldn't be arrested as they hadn't done any damage or harm so they carried on everyday with more and more black students until the sign was removed off the wall.

The next scene was about Rosa's refusal to give up her seat on the bus to a white man. She had been at work and was waiting for the bus at the bus stop and took the last seat on the bus. A white man came along and told her she had to move, she said no and the man had a fit he called the police and they took her to jail. Left : Rosa in Jail

Finally they did the most known of them all, Martin Luther King. They made a class crowd around Mr King and he did his famous speech.

               Next class assembly is 5B's next week about a different hero. see you then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
