The Knock
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPUIYiZu6I
I had been pondering about the time my dad had put the phonograph and all of my family was listening, the tune was soothing and calming. We were a small family of 4, me, my annoying brother, my mom, and dad. Now, back to the pondering, the room was quiet and the melody was bouncing back and forth through the white cemented walls not to mention, the entire black neighborhood we lived in. Mom and dad were headbanging with the tune as well as tapping their foot on the ground.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4TngWcOzT
My brother, who was annoyed by family night, whispered to me, “This is probably old people fun.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34SWWDAcfs
I shushed him and said, “Just shut up and listen, it's about to end.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme8b6zHCYa
Admittedly, I was a bit annoyed by it too, family night was a waste of time, I thought.
The tune ended, and we were relieved. “Ok, now both of you, go to your room and sleep,” my mother ordered us.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVkArH53Kn
“But, we don’t have school tomorrow.” I told her, “and I am not sleepy”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqiMjnueN0
“Yes, but you have to sleep early, remember? Tomorrow, Summer vacation starts, and you can’t be sleepy on the first day can you?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTTc8BDNh7
I decided not to argue with her, so me and brother, Alex, started walking towards our room. But as we were, a loud crash came to the door.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIb8lr2glT
My mother commanded me and my brother, “Hide in your room and lock the door.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FuVxx5ELx
“What about you mommy?” Alex resisted her command.
Then, father hurriedly backed up mother and exclaimed, “Don't worry, we will be safe, now go and hide,” his voice cracked.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGZ8EAB9WT
Then, I grabbed my brother's arm and sprinted to my room, as I firmly locked the door with a key, Alex asked me, “Do you think they are buyers?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5BqDF59gP
“It could be,” I replied. Not knowing that as an older brother, I should have instead comforted him.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EBLTOFzke
Both of our ears were stuck to the door, we were trying to listen to our parents. Then, a split second later, we heard a loud crash and suddenly there were voices of people I’ve never known, they were shouting and I heard pieces of a metal crash. I got really scared and didn’t know what to do, so, as an instinct, I hurriedly took the key out of my pockets and unlocked the door. Next thing I knew, my brother was shouting at me from my back and in front of me, I saw my parents forced to sit on the ground and they were handcuffed. Standing behind them were 3 armed people, 1 of them told his comrade to handcuff me and my brother, who I didn’t know had followed me. I saw the tears and pain in my parents' eyes as we were captured, my mom shouted, ”WHY DID YOU --”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRa1cNgOeB
Her voice was overridden by one of the man’s who shouted,” SHUT UP.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY9gcee7JT
But I think I knew what she was saying.

Back To The Present
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4Kw3nJ7nN
Now, 1 year has passed and we are all fortunately over the tragic events that were held. We have just been transported to a new labor camp named Swahili, and we’ve been given a small room. It’s night and my family just laid down after a long day of work, my father and mom slept on a bed with an old and lumpy mattress while my brother and I slept on the sleeping bags. Laying down, I was wondering, ”What is going to happen, how will we survive?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiePZQuXKO
Suddenly my mom screamed, ”Abraham, go close the light switch and sleep!”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDn5RklML0
“Yes mom,” I replied as I took off my blanket and got up to switch off the light. The switch was white, unlike the rest of the wall, which was brown and had black mold covering them.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIgtXmoqDh
Soon in what seemed like a blink of an eye, it was 7 am and all of us woke up, we all quickly took our buckets and raced downstairs to fill our buckets with water from the fountain in the middle of the residential area. After we were all done, we all ate an insignificant amount of dry, old gravy despite knowing today was going to be a hard day since potato season had just come and the owners were overwhelmed. Soon after, we all headed to the field along with about 50 other slaves. There, it felt like we were in a furnace! Throughout the day, my job was to hold the ladder for my family when they were picking the potatoes from the trees, so they wouldn’t injure themselves. I had to rush to anyone who screamed my name, and even though I was the one who wanted to pick the potatoes, my dad kept telling me I was too young. Though I didn't get how that was logical, I didn’t argue because he was never in a good mood these days.

The Escape Plan
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJAOAnKDXA
Soon after many tiring hours, we all gathered for dinner and my family sat on the table which was on the far right side.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiz10xS1SB
We all took deep breaths after all that work and started eating food, I must have been about halfway finishing my food when father sneakily whispered to us, “So any ideas for the escape I told you to brainstorm about 1 week ago?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnEm7hTxzO
My brother and mom stared nervously at the table, which I assumed was because they either forgot about it or were too nervous to even think about it.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz4lX3kx7U
I replied silently, ”Yes I do.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwD2vHCZgH
Both of them looked relieved.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeCb6pt0Xg
When I got their attention, I added, “I’ve been observing the guards every day. When the guard who secures our side of the camp changes shifts at 6:30 am, there is a 35-second gap in which no one is securing it. In that window of time, we can run to the barbed wire wall beside the crop field and climb it by using the ladder which is used for picking up the potatoes, which dad will have taken the night before with the owner's permission to pick up corn over the night.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjpdlEjjFu
“One question.” My dad uttered, “what are we planning to do after that?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HcOTfqxC3
“We will keep running until we are at the Nairobi Seafront, and once we reach, we can take a boat to America with our savings from mom's purse,” I answered.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuKZKrHSwI
My mom continued and asked, ”When can we do this?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt03vIqfzKH
I nodded towards my father, we all knew it was his choice.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQgRIICC8u
Father told us, ”We will gather our supplies tomorrow, since the day after, we will escape.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxWvkEu7Ne
As soon as he said that, we all fell back to our chairs, relieved, the plan was made and we wouldn't have to whisper anymore.

Ready! Action!
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpmLwHfNe6
The next day, my mom asked me about how I was feeling about the escape, I said, “I’m ready,” but deep inside I knew I was nervous and not ready because all of this was happening quickly, but for my family’s sake, I knew I had to be brave and put on a little acting. Throughout the day, I waited eagerly thinking about our old life, ”It seems like it was a lifetime away,” I wondered, missing it.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGystzazw7
As darkness hit, we were discharged, all of us gathered in the room and got ready. My mom packed all our valuables like money, snacks, and sleeping bags, while dad went outside to ask the owner if he could borrow the ladder to pick crops during the night and earn extra money. Once everyone was back, we all went to sleep, but I couldn’t. I kept thinking about any flaws in the plan and wondered if there were, it would be my fault. “What if they changed the shift timing? What if we can’t run quickly while holding the ladder?” I thought. After a lot of committed tries to fall asleep, I did.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMYosXr6h3
A few hours of rough sleep later, I heard someone saying, ”WAKE UP,” it was my dad who had managed to wake all three of us at the same time. I looked outside the curtains and it was dawn, we all got ready in a rush and now it was time for the time of my life.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3ntntyW2Y
While we were in a hurry, in the middle of everything, my mom named my Alex and I to the corner of the room. “Are both of you sure you are ready? And please, you don’t need to lie for the family.” She begged.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHJo9HweS4
My dad asked us,”Is everybody ready?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Gbi8dfbj
We all replied with, “Yes,” and we walked outside.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaryi1nkYOK
My mom and brother were carrying the sleeping bags and the necessities while my dad and I were carrying the long and heavy ladder. Outside, it was silent, some of the room lights were already open and people were beginning to wake up, it made me less nervous. Once we were a few meters away from the barbed wire, dad told us to stand still and silently behind a wall and then checked his watch, “1 more minute left.” At that point, I was sweating and my heart was pounding, ”This is it,” I thought,” Either escape now or stay here for the rest of your life.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFqPnmPzUx
Then dad said,” Go,” and we all ran, as planned me and my father quickly put down the ladder and mother went first. Once my mother jumped to the other side, I asked her, ” Are you okay,” and I heard,” Yes.” Then my brother went with one of the sleeping bags, I followed him with the other one, then finally my dad climbed it and we were all outside!
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe26putjo4W
“Everything went to plan,” I thought,” But it’s not over.”

The Silent Run
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFodAx98BIt
All of us took deep breaths knowing it was going to be a long sprint, then we started to run. We must have run a few hundred meters when we were beginning to see the coast, which was about 2 miles away, I estimated. After a few more minutes, we all stopped to breathe again, mom especially looked like she was derived from oxygen.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTY48nCIVn
“I don’t think I can do it,” she muttered while breathing continuously.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyPNWCnUqq
“No mom, you have to.” Replied Alex,” Or we will get caught.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA65Z77fcat
“Alex is lucky he went to the sports program,” I thought during that time
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVySDTwsvWg
Suddenly when we were standing still gasping, I heard footsteps behind while my family was busy in a conversation so I decided to look behind. I saw four guards running towards us, I screamed at the top of my lungs to my family and warned them, ”FOUR GUARDS ARE COMING FOR US, LOOK BEHIND! RUN RUN”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsZ99jz691
All of them got a glimpse of the guards. Hastily, we all gathered around our mom and ran as quickly as we could and dad shouted, ”Try to run quicker if you can, they are catching up.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dgLmRaj46
I looked behind and while they were catching up, luckily for us, we were about to reach the Seafront so we could blend in with the other slaves. I told my family, ”We could blend in with the others, and the guards won't be able to follow us or they will get beaten up inside.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRbxtUBd2o
I don't know if anyone heard me since they were focused on sprinting but the guards stopped and we reached. As we entered, I noticed my father went into deep and dark thought, I wondered if he had bad memories of here, I but didn’t ask him knowing he wouldn’t give a correct answer. Soon after, father told us to wait and asked my mom to take out the money, as he counted it, he told us he has an old friend here and wanted to ask him for a cheap boat price.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNsy64qH8x
When my dad was gone, I had a terrifying talk with my mom about the long voyage and out of the blue, she started to cry.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxNQKQzRQm
I replied, ”It’s okay mom, we will get through it.”
Then my dad came sprinting and sarcastically said, ”I managed to get a boat ride but it's leaving as we speak so I suggest walking a bit faster.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpopv7WXIpr
My mom hesitated for a split second.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7DMotdfgP
“They won't wait for us mom,” my brother reminded her.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mNdqQDsEW
“Okay, let's go,” said mom.

Boarding
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEcLC3Ryth
It was a small boat, at the front of it was a room for the helmsman, in the middle was a space for the slaves to put their sleeping bags on and at the back part, was a deck for people to stand on. The floors were wooden and the color of the ship white. We realized we only brought two sleeping bags so my brother was sharing with my father and my mom and I was sharing, luckily though we had brought food for multiple days. People were settling in so we decided to also do it and find a good spot in the middle instead of the edge. All the people were saying bye to their loved ones over the loud noise of the ocean and soon the boat took off.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHqVS6acdL
As the land disappeared, father went to the helmsman and whispered, ”Don't tell the family I’ve worked on this ship, I told them I went on business trips when I was required on long voyages.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpM67WHA9A
“Roberto, my friend, don't worry about it, they will never know. After all, you were saving lives.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpIheQwHwf
“Thank you Francisco!” Roberto muttered respectfully.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnUHqqrLas
“That’s what friends are for!” Exclaimed the helmsman.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMzVwF7dCQ
“And Francisco, one last question, how long will it take to reach America? Never been there before.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mxBNbpEhV
“About three weeks,” Francisco replied.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Klu1I3qwe
“Alright Francisco, I will go take a nap.” Said, Roberto
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3Krrj4aSO
“Bye, old friend, we will be meeting each other a lot in the coming weeks, like the old times,” said Francisco as he sat on his seat and stared out on the big blue ocean.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmBZowKjfq
That whole day all of us slept, we were all exhausted from sprinting, when everyone woke up I asked my father,” How long until we reach?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44HfVvdNYQ
“Three weeks,” he replied, ”I know it’s tough here but we gotta make it, we’re so close.” As he realized everybody was staring at him, he added,” We will make it safely,” trying to comfort us.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKIP4mlFvK
On the ride, everyone was quiet and greedy, nobody shared anything knowing they might run out of it themselves. My brother hadn’t spoken anything since we had taken a step on this ship, I could tell he was nervous and seasick. All he did was lay on the sleeping bag with the blanket over him, his skin was pale and he hardly ate. My mom asked him multiple times to eat or to even talk but he just nodded his head in disagreement. During the night, it was extremely cold and the days were passing by slowly.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxIbnZsDbl
One day, I noticed my mom was feeling tired and looked like she was depressed, so I decided to ask her, ”Are you okay?” It took me a while to find the courage for that because we never had a close relationship.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8WaUYNWu5
“I am not a son, don’t think like that.” She replied.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4qxemH5Tc
I knew she was lying but I just said, ”Okay,” for her to not get pressured. That night, I was thinking about my family worriedly and just like before yesterday, I couldn't sleep. So this caused me to stand up and go to the back of the boat to hear the ocean sounds and feel the breeze.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMAzH2vskQ
As soon as I stood up, my heart sank! My whole life was about to change, millions of questions went through my mind at once!
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhIWJg5ozj
I screamed over the ocean waves, ”MOM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBNKiJzOql
She looked at me and replied, ”NOTHING SON, LOOK BEHIND.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h5xcKZRVN
“NO MOM DON’T SAY THAT,” I replied in horror.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsjBNRyegY
She stood up on the railing and was ready to jump, tears were running down her eyes. Unfortunately, I didn't consider just one flaw, feelings. A few minutes later, my brother came and stood right beside me.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukHHcYJhVz
“Mo-,” he cried, “DON'T DO THIS,” he said as he teared up.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHhxfk3fcH
During this time, I was going closer to the edge as mom listened to Alex. I knew as soon as Alex stopped, I had to run and risk it. My father also joined, with a blank face and was shook in surprise.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixICvhGqK2
Soon after, my brother was forced to stop talking to hiccup and that’s when I knew I had to run, so I started. Weirdly, I was just standing there, I knew I didn’t have the guts.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMoGTcasxJ
My mom read her prayers and said, ”Bye. It's been a pleasure, Roberto, from the moment I met you till now. You two, never give up and move on, I love you the most.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkiXanbXyG
All three of us shouted, ”NO STOP,” but she knew she couldn’t change anything now.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWEtLpWmCq
She jumped into the cold ocean.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa66DlT9q6m
All of us sprinted towards where she was, but she was gone, there was nothing to do now. Father hugged us tightly and muttered with his cracked voice, “Move on, listen to her final wish.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaUK3yTNqr
I felt empty throughout the trip as if a piece of my heart was broken. I cried every day and every minute, I held my brother during those days knowing he was my responsibility and told him, ”This is not the end, it’s a new beginning.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7uuYCSiji
Deep down in my heart, I knew it was my fault she was gone, if I had the guts to sprint she would be alive. I told my father about it and he said, ”It’s not, it’s nobody's fault.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwuk0juWwg
The rest of the trip was unclear to me, we reached America but no happiness went through me or my remaining family. We all had lost the most important person in our lives. A new chapter had begun.

Settling In
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZJgvlu6Uh
Settling into the States was a pain, especially when we were just dropped off in a cargo port with nowhere to go. We were owners of just a little money which mom had left behind in her purse and didn't have anywhere to go, no relatives, no friends, and no final destination, we just needed to survive with each other.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdqQVFr3VM
“So, any ideas?” Asked my brother.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJOFgRgDCX
We were all drifters.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOMrGpw6x2
“No,” I said.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KBokBhNVC
“We can go to a camp until conditions get better I guess,” Father said
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qcaPMAzdl
This was the first time I had seen him clueless, and unfortunately, it was in the worst possible condition.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ745gGlb4M5
“But, which camp?” I replied
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz17itiVTc
Father nodded towards a street sight, it said, “International Rescue Committee of Charlottesville, Virginia, 4 km North.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wUeypSa2n
“Ohh, so this is where we are. History teacher told us that Virginia is in East America towards West Africa,” my brother realized.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQSdgtmh6i
“Anything more that can help us?” Dad asked
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E4JYn7MVH
“No,” Alexy sadly replied.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhgsQfZQSB
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnGguPgW7c
New Home
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXsB3lgsOr
We quickly speed-walked there and what I saw was beyond my imagination. The camp was a HUGE slump looking area, tents were cramped and it made me miss my old house even more. But I wasn't going to say that out loud, because I knew both of them were going to give me that disappointed look.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutmGcAJw8m
“So this is our house for the next few months huh?” My brother muttered.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD6slOwF7J
“Yup, I guess so,” dad sighed.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0FqhWs0VZ
Afterwards, we went to the small reception building and my dad told us to shush ourselves and behave if you don't want to be homeless.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyV0StAy4m
As my dad went to the counter, the unusual white lady, like everybody else in this new country, said, “Hello sir, would you like to ask anything? My name is Raisa.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5RE0XEF3f
“Oh, well hello Raisa, is it possible for me and my two kids to live here for a couple of weeks? Oh, and my name is Arthur.” informed father kindly.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozA1J6ou7B
“Well I am certain you can, follow me. Also, don't mind my curiosity, but where's your wife?” Raisa curiously asked
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYUsXCiqqI
My dad teared up a bit as the bad memories flushed through him, “She passed away a few days ago,”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hne0NFomr
“Oh, I'm so sorry for reminding you, hope you get better.” Raisa apologized.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdfb4QstU8
Then she showed us to our tent, it was considerably big and was brown. In front of it, was a zipper for the main door. Then, she showed us through the entire camp, the kitchen/dining area, the fountain in the middle of the entire camp, and lastly the small school they had.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yre9p0Dbr
“I hope you don't have any more questions?” Raisa said
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPJiXGRma8
“Nope that's it, thank you,” dad replied
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UfIroJlmA
“Bye,” Raisa said.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes9d90lGKR
“Bye,” dad replied too.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCAqJXnylF
The school had no walls, but was enough for studying. Inside our tent, were 3 sleeping beds, a small side table and carpet covering the entire inside.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlDnWbdMvo
“It's pretty cozy,” my Alex said.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKskAM6UQd4
My dad and I said nothing, not because it was bad, but because we were too sleepy.

341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6apXWezpAM
“WAKE UP WAKE UP, ITS SCHOOL TIME.” dad screamed at the top of his lungs
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYMPd9Gd4N
“Okay okay, gimme a second, stop shouting!” My brother angrily replied.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe7SuoH9zJ
Dad gave him an eye, “Keep your manners, doesn't mean you lose them if mom is not here ok?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D4aKtEdVj
“OK, I'm sorry, now will ya leave me alone?” Alex said rudely.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5E9bne88D
And dad did, he walked off angrily. I did feel bad for him and scolded him.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuE5XvmM9R
“Why did you speak like that huh?
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckL4O99fD7
“I am sorry, just got pissed off when he said the mommy part, I don't know how to apologize to him now,” Alex replied
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn0dI5BSLC
“Just… do it later, right now, get ready.” I commanded him.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn0hDHXMRv
I was kind of nervous for the first day of school, “Would the boys like me? Would I get bullied?” All these questions were going through my head.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsKVRcmF7P
As I walked off, my brother to the so-called, “School,” I went to my class. It wasn't really a class, the children were sitting under a huge tree to avoid the shut and in the front of the students, was a blackboard with chalk and the teacher standing there. There were all kinds and races of students, black, white, Asian, etc… The teacher was an American, she was white and to me, very unusual looking. That's what I liked about this school, different types of kids all in one place learning together, this proved that diversity is better than superiority.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCByYUMHHE
“Class, this is Abraham,” the teacher announced, “He will be joining our class now on and will be studying with all of you. Abraham, my name is Emma, you can call me Em,” she said as she smiled at me.

“This class is welcoming,” I thought.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2qIpMeO5k
“Now, class, give Abraham a welcoming introduction.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDWRRQImOO
“ Good morning Abraham!” the kids screamed.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmMg4HKzYp
At this point, a smile broke out, I already knew this was going to be a good year.

Finally, after the long introduction, my teacher showed me where I was supposed to sit, it was a concrete pavement right at the edge of the class. The teacher told me today was, “ Humanities,” class. She told us to write an essay just to test our skills, she even gave us a paper and pencil, which came as a surprise to me!

Days were passing, and it was quickly. Day by day, we were all getting used to the camp, “It's not half as bad I thought it would be here.” I said after a few weeks.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvz6SdMMaV
One day when we woke up for school, my dad was wearing a fancy suit, “Special occasion?” I asked
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xcuaDbetw
My brother was in the tent too.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pRsdEKBv5
“Yup! It's the interview for the job I was talking about since last week.” My dad said excitedly.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEXXNZo38P
“Woo-Hoo,’ my brother got nervous too, we had been all waiting for this moment, a money source.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXRL85YYl0
As he got out of the tent, he told us to take care and reach school, “I shouldn't get a letter from mrs. Em today alright?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM13BY6dXbo
“Yes,” both of us replied
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xMaEey2uU
As I reached school, all the kids were settling into their places, and mrs. Em got the board ready. Weirdly, she was actually very silent with a grim face today.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWieW26D2p
Today was Maths class, we were finally going to learn what was named, “Algebra.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hh6iV4EXj
Our teacher had been preparing us for this topic for a long while now, and once we started, I wasn't happy. I raised my hands and told the teacher, “Mrs. Em, this is just ABC, aren't we supposed to study like in KG 2?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgoUumS6ws
“Abraham! GO BEHIND THAT TREE AND FACE THE OTHER WAY, DO NOT DISTURB THE CLASS ON THIS IMPORTANT TOPIC!” screamed mrs. Em
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7R1V9UdMW
Believe me, she isn't always like this, something must have gotten to her today. The rest of the day was boring, Maths was my least favorite subject, I thought. And ofcourse, she told me to pass on a letter to my dad, even though I just said a single sentence.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNEgUGM9LE
When I was walking back home after picking up my brother, he told me, “Man, I am excited to see what happened to dad's job.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNLIFoYW9q
My mood suddenly became excited, I had totally forgotten about that.” Oh yeah, me too!” I squealed.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8oeQ2WIOc
We walked faster and reached the tent. My brother opened the zipper as I was standing beside him, as soon as we entered, we saw dad looking grim.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMSeW7R50S
“You didn’t get the job huh?” I muttered as I realized our one chance of earning money was gone, erased.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRovhSChwEs
“Nope, I did-“
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9hXSUvsw1
“I’m waiting for the ‘but’ par to come,” Alex interrupted him.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFgp0HfIoN
“But, we will have to shift...by tomorrow.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoX9RxcaSS
“WHAT!?” Both me and my screamed, “YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME, WE JUST GOT SETTLED IN.” My brother got angry, both of us were staring at him.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDBuWRiYDI
“I’m sorry Alex, but it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. And, I have found a good apartment in the city for us to live in, I mean aren’t you just getting tired of this tent?” My dad said this to try to convince him.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5vlsOs53o
“I am, but I have better things here, such as friends and an actual life!” Alex replied.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzABtgpvSW
“Well, I guess it’s our destiny then, we have to move, I am sorry Alex.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIvFapA5Bk
Alex teared up and went to his bed and covered himself with his blanket.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiNt3qVqtm
“Whoof… that is one kind of a child, isn’t he?” My dad asked me.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlyz4fov3V
“Yup, it will take a while for him to understand I guess.” I replied
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AkZjbgT0t
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUZL52PxoG
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb3h1RlrX1
Bye, Camp.

The next day, me and my brother both said a tearful goodbyes to our classes, as we went back home, our father was ready with our belongings and a Taxi was waiting for us.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbgKGAUXpn
“Ready?” My dad asked, “Yup,” we both replied.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f5Cqe8uTm
The ride was silent, it was a half an hour trip to the city and our building, it was a big brown square with white windows, “This is so dead,” I thought to myself.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHwhnSZcyj
We used to lift, and pressed floor 9, when we reached our doorstep, it said, “Room 209,” and we lifted the carpet to get the key. As we entered, my brother, the most excited, rushed inside. “Not gonna lie, it does feel good to have a home.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5HNf36huS
“Agreed,” I followed
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocpKMqLx9J
“Me 3,” my dad again followed, all of us had smiles.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDB8UNCSxm
The main room had yellow lights and a 4 seater wooden table, better then what we had. There was still one room though, but we did have an extra mattress, so we decided my brother would sleep with my dad in the bed and me on the mattress. There was also a kitchen, similar to the ones in hotels, with small cabinets and a sink, with an oven and a microwave.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcTMJriT3o
The next day we were to visit our new school, “Virginia International School(VIS).” As I reached, I noticed that it was a huge school, “Does the whole Virginia come here?” I thought. It had a huge bell in the front and was made out of maroon bricks, old school style. But of course this meant one thing, more children, more bullies. I had really hoped this was like my last school, but it wasn’t. As I entered Mrs. Olivia's classroom, she quickly introduced me in a bad manner and a couple of kids from the back shouted, “DWEEB, MRS. Abraham,” and guess what?
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbQnDEOUsw
“THE TEACHER IGNORED THEM.” I thought, “WHAT A BAD TEACHER,” I I thought again but this time, angrily.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsrH37EFzu
At recess, I wanted a friend, but obviously couldn’t, all the students were white, and I was black, “The ‘INTERNATIONAL’ part in the name was clearly a lie,” I told myself.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8TDJmx7Cl
More bad things happened in recess. As I was sitting at the corner behind a tree, 3 kids came up from my classroom, Elijah, Lucas and James. They were absolutely huge, but I didn’t have the guts to tell them. As they walked right towards me, they clenched their fists in a tough manner, their leader James screamed, “GIVE ME YOUR LUNCH MONEY RIGHT NOW, OR GET AN ABSOLUTELY FREE PUNCH, NERD.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlthAMQLtmP
I stood up and clenched my wrists too, “WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCLRwpdRXR
“I SAID, GIVE ME YOUR MONEY, NERD.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNkh5tTRYR
The anger got the best of me. I punched him right at the nose and he fell down, just like my father had taught me.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCEJ1QE1Cb
His other sidekicks stared at me and came to attack, I hit one on the ribs with my shoes, and one punched another one on his stomach, all three of them had fallen down.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZycvCLIPO
I felt worried about the consequences, “But they deserved it,” I thought.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ659f7pFy
“What’s wrong with you, FREAK?” Asked James rudely.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf808h8TEB
I thought of a reply quickly and said, “Well, I was raised in the slumps, wasn’t I?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNHJf1jMQ3
Everybody who was staring at us, screamed, “OOOOHHH,” happily, I felt like I had done the school a good deed, especially to the new kids.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPyPk6Um0d
The next day, my dad came to the school during after-school time, we went to the principal's office and while we were walking there, he said, “Did you really humiliate that kid? Who was he? Are you a bully?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbNzEnm57P
“Yes, his name is James Fielder, but believe me, I might have humiliated him but he’s the bully here, he takes everybody’s money in the grade, and when someone stands up, his knuckles clench. So when he asked me for it, I gave him and his squad of hypocrites a beating.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2U0OFjwsX
“Ok, don’t tell that to me, tell that to the principal.” My father was relieved.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YCgPZK9d0
When we sat at the chairs in front of the principal's metal desk, he introduced, “Hello sir, my name is Oliver, I’m the principal.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WbXX8nBeM
“Oh, hello principal, my name is Arthur, I am Abraham’s dad.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwEuR38oc5
“Thank you. Ok, so your son Abraham, just yesterday bullied three kids and their parents were complaining to me, Abraham would you like to describe what happened?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhoAoCI41i
“Yes sir, here’s the story, I might have humiliated them but he’s the bully here, he takes everybody’s money in the grade, and when someone stands up, his knuckles clench. So when he asked me for it, I lost my anger and gave him and his squad a beating. You can ANYBODY and I mean, ANYBODY in the grade to back that up.” If you hadn’t noticed, I was mimicking exactly what I had said to my dad, with polite words.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8rHY1vcUz
“Ok, he might be a bully, but that doesn’t give you an excuse to break his nose and severely hurt his friends. Mr. Arthur, I will decide the consequences with the teachers over the weekend, until then, wait.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81jTMwH2NW
My dad and Oliver stood up and shook their hands, I just followed my dad out of the gate where the Taxi and my brother were waiting.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHb8JU5uMh
“What happened Abraham?” Alex questioned
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGQSR6BtmJ
“Nothing, I just beat up bullies since they started to fight me first.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3tXGd87PT
“Oh, okay, hope you beat me up real good.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYFS1PTtJU
“Oh boy, you have no idea..” I said as I silently giggled with my brother.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zGk1TX2kR
Turns out my dad was listening from the passenger seat and got angry real quick, “YOU JUST GOT NAMED TO THE PRINCIPAL AND ARE STILL LAUGHING!? I HAD TO CHANGE TO NIGHT SHIFT JUST TO COME TO THE SCHOOL!”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu0YNLCyKw
“I am sorry dad, won’t do it again,” I comforted him.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FDJpBW5R4
Over the weekend, we just stayed at the house, we hadn’t really found a place to have fun. On Sunday, finally, we went to the post box office and retrieved the letter. As soon as we entered our house, my dad ripped open the paper with his hands.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fPoGcYkAw

Dear Arthur,
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4jeulw6Z4
I, regretfully announce that your son, Abraham, will be expelled from Virginia Middle school, effective immediately. This decision has been made with the school board and is irreversible. We have chosen this path since Abraham broke James Fielder’s nose and assaulted his friends. We have checked for all of Abraham’s personal belongings, none are here at school.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqiBgFpbSW

“Martin Luther King Jr, well well well, finally, it’s your time, go on that stage and tell the world about all the racism around the world,” said the assistant.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5w7QoV0D7
Luther replied, Yup, it is my time, and yours, don’t forget, you helped me write it too, we will tell the world about, “I Have A Dream.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYq8Rnvb9l
“Ok, now go on, show the world what racism is,” the assistant replied.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5mnAG5saE
Luther walked on the stage of the Lincoln Memorial, he paced around and started saying, “I say to you today, my friends, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American Dream.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVoqF8Y3aA
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; thal all men are created equal.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UXLHsgx90
Abraham, Arthur, and Alex were all staring at the television, it was live broadcast of Martin Luther King Jr, the man who later abolished slavery.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33OlH9OkYx
“I have a dream that one day down in Alabama with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and little white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.”
To give a bit of background information, after Arthur opened that letter and read it, he scolded Abraham A LOT, and then grounded him for six days in the house, no television, no getting out of the house, no entertainment at all! He had hoped this would be enough to, “Fix,” Abraham.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpORyemWxU4
Even Alex had felt bad for Abraham, for his punishment, he knew that what Abraham did had to be done, he knew the real story. Alex had always been annoyed by this, he knew that adults were too arrogant because of their age, and never actually focused on the full story.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hOoHz3sDW
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plains, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all the flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with.
With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.
With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning, "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my father died, land of pilgrims' pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring".
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGxBpVDLUg
Literal tears were popping out of Arthur’s eyes, both the children were surprised to see that. For them, their hero was Martin Luther King Jr., they had given him all the hope and were rooting for him to convince the government to abolish slavery, all around the world with the United Nations.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CaADIxVmI
Days were passing by quickly, again. It was usually the same, boring old life. There was one tist, Abraham was now getting homeschooled by his father, whenever his father came back from work, he taught him Maths, and Science. Abraham had begged him to go to school, but his father won’t allow him even though he wanted friends and wanted to be a normal child, most importantly, he wanted to be white.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T1HaElhLq
He always told his father, “Why aren't we white? Why did mom have to die?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXIAkUjJMz
His father always replied with the same thing: “Be proud to be black. One day we will have money and will be eating in a house in Africa, we will have the perfect life.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr903PzyUZU
“But when? When?!” Abraham screamed, “Martin Luther hasn’t done anything, we haven’t even had a proper funeral for mom!” he cried.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Eev2O2oAh
Everytime you thought things were getting better, they didn’t. All of them were beginning to get tired of living like this, and wanted to go back to where they belonged: Africa. And while you might have thought that they were over the mom, they weren’t, Alex openly said we can start facing it after we can have a funeral, not before.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOuyns6W4l
The only good thing was that the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Martin’s organization, was progressing slowly. The request had been sent to the United NAtions and they said they were processing it. The 3 of them thought that meant slavery probably still wouldn’t be abolished, but there opinions were about to chnage, not only that, also their life!
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqenURHIDk
“Today’s finally the day our destiny will be written eh?” father said
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPhREFBjDl
Alex and Abraham nodded, they watched their father walk out the main door to the mailbox. “UH UH!” Arthur exclaimed, “I have the newspaper.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAdozoizJq
He rushed back inside to the house with the newspaper in his hands, they all waited eagerly as his father opened the newspaper.

July 2nd of 1963th:
Today, our reporter from the Guardian Newspapers reports from the Lincoln Memorial that the president finally announced the news we had all been waiting for! Here's a look at what John F. Kennedy had to announce:341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVIsjcPwqI
Today, my fellow American citizens, and citizens from around the world, I happily announce what all of us have been rooting for. As I have said before, not every child has an equal talent or an equal ability or an equal motivation, but they should have an equal right to develop their talent and their ability and their motivation, to make something of themselves. We have a right to expect that the Negro community will be responsible, will uphold the law, but they have a right to expect that the law will be fair, that the Constitution will be color blind, as Justice Harlan said at the turn of the century. This is what we are talking about and this is a matter which concerns this country and what it stands for, and in meeting it I ask the support of all our citizens.
