My name is Jimmy Walker. I live in Austin,Texas with my two sisters and four brothers. My father works as a farm and my mother stays home. I go to school with my two brothers in a school for all black kids. The school is very different combared to white kids school. Our bathrooms are all messed up and the lunch is used sometime to teach,eat,and fight when every a white kid comes in the school. Once when I was going home a group of white kids try'd to tie me to tree. I was saved by my two older brothers.
Every time my family goes out to eat we all have to sit and eat in colored places. I just want everything to change so that we all can live together. Jim Crow laws made it seem like everyone of color was non human. On the bus I always have to sit in the back to let a white person sit in my seat. I always like telling them we all the same but if do I go to jail. I have never been allowed to do the same things as white people like go to the park,public restroom, libarys, and play with the our kids because of my color.
If someone who has to follow the Jim Crow Laws does not follow them that person will get in really big trouble and go to jail. I hope one day to see Austin,Texas with out Jim Crow laws.
