summary:
In Virginia a historic school has been vandalized. The school called Ashburn Colored School had originally opened in 1892 and many people had been raising up money to turn the old historic school into a museum. They had recently raised 100,000 dollars for the restoration and creation of the museum to begin. Sadly this past weekend the marvelous school had been vandalized with many racist comments,disrespecting many colored people and breaking hearts of those who had spent the last two years raising the money.
Synthesis:
This article was written by Max Blau for CNN news, and was published October 6,2016. The author starts with describing the school and how the community aimed for it to soon open up as a museum. Then continues stating the events of the vandalism. The author does not seem to have included opinions but facts. This was my first time reading and hearing about this topic. I personally feel sad for those who had hoped and seeked for a better future of the school. I truly hope the museum will still be possible to be created ignoring the vandalism. This topic continues to add up to the rage/movement over Black Lives Matter.This contributes to this movement because it's disrespectful to the colored people and could influence into more stand ups because they have messed with their history.

Kiri Luckey: This is so sad and so disrespectful. These people of this school and students have put in so much work, time, and energy into this school and all their hard work has been ruined.
