Reflection:

The black community in Buxton did not face as much racial discrimination as they would in other white society. Their leader William King tried to better their way of life. The neighboring community still had enough hatred to affect their lives. The salves tried to better themselves and to build a society with the help of William King. A human being should not have to deal with such hatred and dislikes. People should be treated equally and be given the same rights no matter their race, gender, and ethnic background. Everyone is the same, thus, they should be treated the same.
