A Minority Who Sits In The Back

Do you ever look at the car ahead of you and wonder where they are going?  Do you ever look at the plane above you and wonder if they are going home or on a trip?  So many people on this planet doing everything.  So many people on this planet with so many different dreams and stories.  So many people on this planet who come to America to live out their dreams in "the land of the free and the hom of the brave".  Yet, so many people had to fight for their rights. 

       In our history books, though, we don't read about every minorities fight for rights.  We only read and learn about African American civil rights.  Do you know who Martin Luther King is?  The guy who wrote the "I Have a Dream" speech.  Do you know who didn't give up her seat on the bus?  Claudette Colvin. 

       The lebian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBTQ) community is even receiving a spot in our textbooks.  Do you know when they were granted the right to marry?  2015.  What else do we know?  Well, not much because this minority will soon be taking a seat in our curriculum. 

       But a minority that is often forgotten is the persons within the disabled community.  Did you know the people with disabilities litterally threw themselves out of their wheelchairs and crawled up the steps of congress to get the Americans with Disabilities Acr passed?  Did you know we so often still get discriminated angriest and talked down to?  Our seat are in the back and that needs to change!

       We are all Americans and deserve to be treated equally.  We are all human beings!
