NightJohn was a free slave that snuck his way back down to the south but go caught and is a slave again...but he wanted to go back to to other slaves how to read and write so they can have something to tell otheres.but story is in the south hes in the cabin with a little girl and she pays him tobacco so she can learn how to read and write..but the bad part about it is if they get caught it gets all bad for them.
malcom X"mascot" was in the north in michigan..auto biography on malcom x and how life was for him being black in the north and how blacks still got treated wrong everywhere they went school food shopping everywhere..in chapter malcom was in class and when he walked in the teacher always makes rasict jokes so he got tired of it and pulled a prank got expelled and ran away from school.
The Great Debaters was a comparison of both and also different...how they were different in the great debaters they had there edcuation and were allowed to do what they needed to do..how they compare TGD and mascot compare because it was in the same time frame(1930's) when civil rights were going on i belive and how TGD and NightJohn compare because they were both in the south and they still treated black wrong...
