In response to the desicion of the many people that was around the masacre I do believe the only word to describe it is sickening. It is about time in this world to wake up and look in the mirror. This world shouldn't be motivated by racial distinguishes, but by how way people act. If everybody quit being racially motivated, then a lot of the world's problems could be solved.

Talking back to bus driver's is something that happens on school buses. Why should an African-American who just returned home from World War II be treated with a more hated response. I guess it is a way to make people feel better by sitting around and making fun of people, or talking back to a different colored person, classmate, or being. Trust me, it doesn't happen in just the adult's point of view. Most children also experience racial attacks in schools. This behavior could be acted on by the surrondings at that person's home, so the parents should have a big job in keeping their children away from racial violence and to help them fell comfort, not just at their own home.

I am doing a report on Isaac Woodard for my ROTC class in my Highschool. I feel he was a great part of African-American success in life with the time being not just exactly at the time it happened, but many years from now. I greatly appreciate the heroic desicions made by a hero of America, Mr. Isaac Woodard. And I hope other people can have the courage to do the same in life even if the already knew the consiquences such as Mr. Isaac Woodard. Thank You ~Matt Aumen~
