In this article I found it talks about the segregated school systems on how seperate but equal was wrong and doesn't follow the constitution and violated the fourteenth amendment. Relateing this article to the stories we read in class, would be this case had many attempts of stoping this before 1954, but they never passed the law. They kept going and just would not stop which was like the stories we read, on how in moody she jjst sat down but would not leave because she knew it had to be done. Not giving up was their main goal and they had accomplished just that in this case, and now there in no more segregated schools.

A Walk Through Harlem
Like most of the African Americans in the 1920's, nine of the Delany children moved to Harlem. In which all that came there were looking for a new life. Bessie's office was at 2305 seventh Avenue in which she shared with hap. They both went to church every Sunday to thank the lord for what they got. Bessie's office was the center for activists in which Bessie strongly believed in. While Sadie was more of a side line kind of girl. She believed for rights but staid low. They both followed on the radio on what the activists were doing next. But altogether Harlem was the place to be for making a different for the African American Communities, and both Sadie and Bessie paid their dues.

With this drawing the Delany sisters had their mind set on what they wanted in life and they just followed that path till they could go no further. They had obstacles but as in the drawing they held their chins up high and and just let the obstacles come.
