  8. What I Found Interesting I found it interesting that Martin went to college at such a young age. And that he was allowed to go because he was a black man. And without him, whites and blacks would be in separate schools.

  9. My Questions 1. How did you get to college at such a young age? 2. If you could do something different, what would it be? 3. Why did you make things the way they are now? These are some questions to think about.
