Hixson Diversity Exerience

Today I attent a diversity event called "Teenager at Alcatraz: The Clarence Carnes Story".  This was an old man who told a small crowd a story about collecting stories from people we were indians in the south.  He dicided to start doing this because when he read a book about history in Southern America he noticed that there was nothing said about the trail of tears and other impotant things that happened to indians in their history.  He then went on to tell stories about an indian boarding school.  This school was very tough, many kids were killed by other kids.  The teachers would let the kids go down on the football field with sticks and belt and beat up the smaller kids.  The small kids had to make it across the length of the field or get killed.  The story was very intresting and I am very glad that I attended.
