Supreme Court ordered desegregation of schools. The decision struck a Chicago newspaper as a "second emancipation proclamation." The Supreme Court’s implementation order of 1955, designed to hasten compliance, ordered desegregation of schools "with all deliberate speed," but compliance was slow.

Another piece of advice for freshman is to join clubs or any organizations that you can. I am not involved in many clubs and colleges love people who are in clubs
