Who Are Making a Difference
Andy Percifield had been busy, too. There were only two
days before the next game. He was determined that his
school would do the right thing, no matter what the
principal said. He had an idea, maybe the students
themselves could write a letter against racism that could be
read over the microphone in the press box to everyone at
veryone at
the game. It would have to be powerful enough to satisfy
the protesting players and shame the racist fans.
Andy has lost his faith in the system after talking to the
principal and he has decided to act on his own.
Andy has become very angry about the racist fans and
he will put an end to their comments no matter what.
Andy is intent on making a change for the better and
putting an end to the racist comments coming from the
racist fans
Andy feels bad for the protesting players, but he does
not want to get too involved in other people's problems.
