"God's Warriors Don't Cry"- Extra Credit

At the end of chapter four, Grandma India reminds Melba that "God's warriors don't cry"(Beals 44). Think about this quote and the discussion that we had in class. What does the quote mean? What did the discussion that Melba and Grandma India have while Melba was crying show us about their relationship? Be detailed in your response; I expect one well-supported paragraph. Use at least one direct quote in your response from Warriors Don't Cry.

Thinking about the Little Rock Nine

Looking at the pictures between pages 132-133 of Little Rock Central High School and Elizabeth Eckford make me think about how difficult it must have been to have been part of the Little Rock Nine. Look at the pictures on these pages. What stands out for you? Why? Are there any potential bystanders? upstanders? victims? perpetrators?

Use your knowledge of the Civil Rights Movement from your article, learning about Emmitt Till, and listening to some of the music that relates to the movement to make one connection with a pciture that you see on pages 132-133. Be sure to follow the new blog expectations for full credit.
