Answer:
Fifty years ago last January, George C. Wallace took the oath of office as governor of Alabama, pledging to defy the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision prohibiting separate public schools for black students. “I draw the line in the dust,” Wallace shouted, “and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever” (Wallace 1963).
Eight months later, at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Martin Luther King Jr. set forth a different vision for American education. “I have a dream,” King proclaimed, that “one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”
Wallace later recanted, saying, “I was wrong. Those days are over, and they ought to be over” (Windham 2012).
They ought to be over, but Wallace’s 1963 call for a line in the dust seems to have been more prescient than King’s vision. Racial isolation of African American children in separate schools located in separate neighborhoods has become a permanent feature of our landscape. Today, African American students are more isolated than they were 40 years ago, while most education policymakers and reformers have abandoned integration as a cause.
Explanation:
According to a different source, this question refers to the Brown v. Board of Education decision. In this case, the court issued a unanimous decision in favor of the Brown family. This decision was written by Chief Justice Earl Warren.
I would argue that Warren's rhetoric is persuasive and authoritative. He very clearly explains the reasons why the Court reached this decision. This conveys a feeling of knowledge and clarity. The line that I find most moving is:
<em>"To separate [black children] from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely to ever be undone."</em>
I find this line to be very powerful because it gets to the source of the problem. By explaining how black children might feel, it encourages people to rethink segregation. It also supports the idea that all people are equally valuable, regardless of their color.

Answer:
Enduring hard times strengthens character.
Explanation:
The theme that can be found in both "If" and The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling is that enduring hard times strengthens character.
This is because, in IF and Jungle Book, there are circumstances that come up against the protagonists and other minor characters that sees hard times test their character and they finally triumphing and having their character strengthened.
