Hannah: Thanks for coming on the show Mr. Warren. Recently, the Supreme Court made a pretty big decision and declared that school segregation was unconstitutional. What do you have to say about that?

 Sam: Well, the decision was difficult, but the constitution must be upheld or else it won’t have any effect at all. Segregation in schools is unconstitutional because it deprives colored children. I really felt that it was important for me to lead the decision in this case, and to make the right one.

Hannah: What kind of effect do you think this decision will have on the American people?

Sam: I think that this ruling will play an important part in the lives and futures of many children and families, black and white alike. Education is something that has a huge effect on everybody’s lives and if you encounter discrimination and deprive a child of something it gives them the disadvantage later on in life, because it’s providing an unhealthy environment.

Hannah: Do you think that this case is about even more than just school segregation?

Sam: This case was fought to win equality in schools, but yes, I believe that it is about something even bigger. I don’t know that abolishing segregation entirely will ever be possible, looking at the environment in the South currently, but I think that this is the first step in a direction that heads towards civil rights and equality.

Hannah: Thank you very much Mr. Warren
