Today Wes and I were both able to see Keagan's play that his
school put on for the parents of the kindergarden students. Keagan's class
represented winter and Keagan was dressed as a mitten. He nailed his lines and
he had all the right moves with the choreography.
Keagan and his best friend Isaiah are in the same class and also attend after
school care together. Keagan told me a couple of months ago that he was really
glad Martin Luther King, Jr made it okay for "peach skin and black skin
people to be friends" because if he hadn't Keagan said that he would be
"very lonely at school without his best friend." He then added,
"I don't know why I always have friends with black skin; the white kids
are always so weird and like to play weird things at recess - they want to
pretend to be clowns. Isaiah and I like to run together and play sports."
These two are inseparable during the school day, and every time I see them together, they have these big smiles on their faces.
