STORY 2, SOLOSTORY 2, SOLOThen Martin said to his dad, "I canread that. We can't eat there becausewe are black. Why?" Martin didn'tunderstand.28Then Martin's dad said, "We will notbe free until we can eat where we want.We will not be free until we can drink wherewe want."Look at Martin and his father. The sign says "Whites Only." That meant blackpeople could not eat in that restaurant, just because they were black.1Do youthink that was right? 2I think I would be unhappy if someone told me I could noteat in a restaurant because I was too tall, too short, or the wrong color. 3Howdo you think Martin and his dad felt when they read the sign "Whites Only"? 4FOCUS ONVOCABULARY—“FREE”After completing the page,say something like:In the last unit on HarrietTubman, we learnedthat slaves were not freebecause they were ownedby other people.When Martin Luther Kingwas alive, people were notslaves, but many peoplewere still not free to eatwhere they wanted.There were many thingsthat black people could notdo that white people could.Martin Luther King’s dadsaid that everyone shouldbe treated well.
