6 Did the teachers and staff support you?

What you have to remember was that many of the teachers were active segregationists. These teachers very much resented our being there. They treated us as though we were not welcome. They did not protect us inside their classrooms. They did not listen to us when we said we were being hit or kicked. They did not show support for us when we needed them.
