Quick updates I wanted to share…
- In one of my 9th graders we were reviewing the Martin Luther King Jr. speech and the teacher asked me “Dwayne what fountain would Japanese people drink from? Whites or coloured?”. I thought that was pretty funny. I had no idea what to answer but considering most of the Japanese people went or were sent home after World War II I answered “the coloured one”.
- On an island of 6 thousand people a 14 year old Japanese boy stood up and applauded the MLK I have a Dream speech, before being told to sit down by his classmates. It was entirely sweet, funny and awkward.
