Treated Equally

Once, a long time ago, when blacks and
whites were treated differently, there was a school. And that school was for black people. One day, the Negro leagues came to
The school to give a first grade class a ride on their bus. Now, there was one boy in that particular class, named Reggie. He was all about fun and loved to go on field trips. on the bus, it was a real tight squeeze because everybody in the class had to sit in the back of the bus. That was the law back then. Finally, they stopped at a restaurant to eat.
Everybody except Reggie went inside. Reggie stayed outside , where he stared and stared at a certain white boy. This certain boy was about the same age as Reggie. He was staring right back at Reggie. The boy’s name was Will. Will waved at Reggie when he thought no one was looking. Reggie waved back. Then Reggie’s teacher came out and said, “ Reggie? Oh Reggie there you are! I’ve been looking all over for you! It’s time to eat.” “ I’ll be in soon.” Said Reggie. You better be. Said the teacher. After she left, Will walked away. That night at home, Will told his grandfather about the black boy who waved to him. Grandfather already knew, for he was at a white restaurant just across the street. I was looking out the window when I saw you. B-but-I-I-thought-no – one was looking. Will stammered. I know. Said grandpa.
Over at Reggie’s house, He told the same thing – or something like it – to his mom.What should I do? Asked Reggie. I really want to play with that white boy.I’m sorry Reggie but you can’t do anything. Yes I can. Reggie thought to himself. Martin luther king J.R is brave . I’ll ask him to do something about it. Martin Luther King J.R was Reggie’s neighbor. Martin was very brave and once said he would do something amazing. But he never did. So, the next day, Reggie went to Martin Luther King J. r ’s house to talk to him and think of a plan. “sure!”Said Martin Luther King J.r I’m always up for a challenge. Great! Said Reggie. But what can we do to make blacks equal to whites? Don’t worry Reggie.Said Martin. I have a plan. So Martin Luther King j.r went to make a difference. And when he did, the laws got changed. Reggie’s mother said to Reggie one night at the dinner table, You were right Reggie. You did make a difference. Well, along with Martin. I’m sorry I misjudged you. You have done well. The next day was Will’s birthday. Will’s mom took him to a restaurant witch was now for blacks and whites. Reggie wanted to try to go to a restaurant that used to be for whites only. It was Reggie’s little sisters birthday, but she was only one. Reggie and Will wanted to go to the same restaurant! When their parents took them, It was at the same time too! They met at the restaurant and their parents exchanged phone numbers, and where they live. They found out they only lived one block away from each other . From that day fourth, Reggie and Will were best friends. Now there is a statue of them with Martin Luther King J.r in the town square. And that proves that everyone can be equal and get along. What happened to Will and Reggie? Well , their at school playing together as best friends.
