"My father was dead; I was no longer a round kid in a hamburger joint but a college student living at a time when racial issues were much at the center of American life."
Busby, Mark. Cedar Crossing. Fort Worth: Texas Christian UP, 2013. Print. 61.
This book is basically about a college kid who is trying to find out more about his towns checkered past. The bad part about that is that his family members all have different sides of the story because the reason why everyone has a different story is cause it was a terrible memory that no one wants to remember in the first place. The quote that I chose was very influential to back then and now. In this day and age we still live in some what racial times, where those type of issues still come about. Plus, I'm a college student who is trying to live my own life where my parents aren't around.

The Kalir Club was a very popular woman's social club. This club was not allowed to join the Greek system of the University until 1959 because of the fact that there wasn't any Greek system allowed at Texas A&M University. The reason why this picture goes with the quote that I chose is because it deals with a time where there were issues that our university, as college students, that we were facing.
