So I kick off the year with a long and most interesting slew of Civil Rights Cases. Some white people around the country have violated the Civil Rights Act of 1875 and now its coming here, to washington to challenge it's constitutionality. I was pretty excited even before it started, these types of cases always grabbed me. So pretty quickly after we got into I started thinking to myself "If the Civil Rights Act is ruled unconstitutional, then reconstruction is over!" and each case made me more sure of this. At first, I went into a state of panic and i eventually found myself sitting in an armchair with a blanket over my head, drinking home made peach juice and eating bread, all the while reciting the lord's prayer. That's when I realized I had to get a hold on myself. I had seen the injustice and racism of modern day America near it's worse while I lived in Kentucky. These ex-slaves were in trouble and I was the only one who could help them! It was at this point that I had a second breakdown. After I had regained control, I had the realization that the other justices had all lived in the north and had not been exposed to the racism in america as I had! Things seem kinda' bleak right now but hopefully, I can convince the other justices that these freedmen are really still in need!
UNTIL NEXT TIME
