One thing that was on my mind today and bothering me were the drivers who are in a massive hurry.  The traffic in Rockford is already bad enough.  Then you have the people driving half a foot away from the person in front of them because they are trying to get somewhere.  Then they go around you and cut you off.  They get stuck at the same light as you do 90% of the time.  Congratulations you got to wait at a stoplight five seconds sooner than I did. I really just do not understand it.  I am actually usually driving 5 miles and hour over the speed limit, and I still have people who do this.  Like come on, you are going 60 in a 35. You have to be kidding me.  Not to be sexist but it is typically a teenage girl and whether it is a girl or a guy, they are usually on a phone.  So one, you're following too close, and two you are texting.  So when I need to stop really quick, have fun buying me a new bumper.  You aren't Michael Shumacher, so stop trying to drive like him.

The Delany sisters had a rough time with oppression and segregation.  Luckily they were more sheltered and didn't experience it as bad as some other African Americans did.  I chose this picture because Bessie Delany had a close run in with the KKK.  She said she was almost killed by the clan. She was walking home and was confronted by them.  She gave rude excuse and was almost captured by them.  Luckily she escaped.  This picture shows how scary the KKK was and how dangerous it was for the Delany sisters during this time.
