Racial tensions were high. Laws were enforced to keep blacks and whites separate. It was a teacher who urged Carl to make something of himself. Bessie Taylor Gwynn taught him to believe he could be a poet or a writer. She urged him to write as much as possible. She would even get books for him because blacks were banned from public libraries. Bessie Taylor Gwynn made sure that Carl finished high school. And he did. He graduated at the top of his class.卡尔在长大,但他鲜有希望改变。在南部地区并没有很多面向黑人的工作。学校也并不优秀。种族间高度紧张。法律将黑人和白人划分开。而正是一位老师督促卡尔为自己做些什么。贝西泰勒格温教导他相信自己能成为一名诗人或者作家。她督促他尽量多的写作。她还会帮卡尔借书因为黑人是不准进入公立图书馆的。贝西泰勒格温确保卡尔完成高中,而他确实做到了,他以顶尖的成绩完成学业。
