Lawrence

Lawrence’s piece to me said one thing. Just undoing segregation wasn’t enough. He feels it bred other issues, like insecurity and “a feeling of inferiority” (283). He says that because we separated blacks and white in the first place because of there color, and no other reason, it created these feelings. He also says that it is “unlikely ever to be undone” (283). I think that it is harsh to say that, and it doesn’t give anyone any hope that we can change it. I think he is trying to sound harsh so we can learn from our mistakes and realize what we’ve done. But if we can’t change anything, no one will bother learning about it.
