Bump! bump! scratch!

adam opened his eyes and pulled the covers up to his chin. he stared around his room, searching the darkness for the thing that was making those scary sounds. the closet door moved as something banged on it from the inside.

“who’s there? ” adam asked in a shaky voice.

the closet slowly began to open. adam jumped out of bed and ran to the closet door, slamming it shut with his palms. he grabbed his desk chair and propped it against the door handle. then he ran out of his room and down the hall. his brother’s door was wide open, and adam jumped onto david’s bed.

“adam? ” david asked in a groggy voice. “what are you doing in here? ”

adam tugged on david’s arm. “there’s something in my closet! ”

“you probably had a bad dream. go back to bed.”

adam yanked the blankets off the bed.

“it wasn’t a dream. i was awake, and the closet door started opening by itself! ”

david sighed. “fine. but when we don’t find anything, you have to promise to leave me alone for the rest of the night.”

adam nodded. david reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a flashlight. then they headed to adam’s room. adam stopped in the doorway. he could hear something scratching his closet door.

“do you hear that? ” adam asked.

david nodded. he walked over to adam’s bed and pulled the case off one of the pillows. he opened the pillowcase.

“you open the door very slowly, and i’ll grab whatever it is.”

adam slid the chair to the side and pulled the closet door open a crack. something banged against the door, trying to force it open. adam took a deep breath and opened the door a few more inches. a small furry creature ran right into the pillowcase.

“i got it! ” david said, closing the pillowcase and holding it in the air.

“what is it? ” adam moved closer as david peeked inside.

david put the pillowcase on the bed and an orange cat climbed out.

adam scooped the cat up. “apricot? how did you get trapped in my closet? ”

david laughed. “the poor cat. if i was locked in your closet with your stinky shoes, i’d be banging on the door to get out, too! ”

“poor apricot,” adam said. “you were probably more scared than i was.”

Read the excerpt from a supporting opinion of the supreme court’s ruling in plessy v. ferguson, 1896. laws permitting, and even requiring, their separation in places where they are liable to be brought into contact do not necessarily imply the inferiority of either race to the other, and have been generally, if not universally, recognized as within the competency of the state legislatures in the exercise of their police power. how does this relate to the premises of brown v. board of education? the brown case addresses whether state legislatures are equipped to judge the quality of education offered at segregated schools. the brown case addresses whether authorities believe that one race is inferior to another when creating public schools. the brown case addresses whether these laws inherently deny certain citizens equal protection under the law. the brown case addresses the legality of using police power to monitor public places separated by race.
