A teacher always has to make the effort. Whether it's Chicano history or any other. We don't want to go back to the way things were, back when black kids got hand-me-down text books after white kids had used them ? if they got textbooks at all.

I would say making information about black history more available for teachers has improved. However, how it's dispensed is up to the schools. I'd say things have changed in that regard, but not enough.

That's right, they did. So if they tried to run away, they could more easily be found.

Slavery was something people in the country thought they needed. America was more an agricultural country, and somebody had to work the farms. They tried the Indians, but they knew the country and ran. Indentured slaves were white and could blend in. Do you think black people stood out, that they looked different?

Defensive effort is energy, and all the credit there goes to coach Wright and Lakewood. He has been doing this a long time, and you know you have to match them blow for blow or you're going to lose by 30.

It's going to be big. It's probably one of the biggest games in their history besides that Doug Flutie thing that I can recall. We're up for it.
