Today we saw two high schools in Little Rock: the crown jewel of the Arkansas school system, Central High School, and the premiere black high school of Little Rock, Dunbar High School. These two schools were both beautiful schools. However, central high school was roughly 3 times the size and cost way more to build. It was built first and Dunbar was built as an after thought using the leftover designs and styles of Central. This inequality shows the priorities of law makers in Arkansas in the early 20th century. It's quite oblivious that any student and any teacher would prefer to go to school at Central and this is unfair. However, it's important to know that the lower priorities need education too. Education is the solution to injustice. I am too tired to complete this thought process. I'll write more midnight ramblings soon.
