Jim Crow
The only place to ecsape the White prejedice against blacks is to go up north. Jefferson is a black man that many of the white people take advantage of. Grant is well educated and the school we works at is very poorly funded. They have to get hand me downs from all of the White schools and the Board of Education told him to get the kids to start working and to earn money working in the fields. Basicly he told them to stop worring about education and start working on labor and hygine because that is all they are going to be good at.

I would have to disagree with you Matt, Grant is well educated because he is apart of that small group of people who actually went to college. He escaped from the oppression and succeeded and got his job as a teacher.
