Waiting in line at the Dragstore

“Waiting in Line at the Drugstore” written by James Thomas Jackson, is the story about a poor young black boy who lived in the Southwest part of the country, during the ‘40s. This young boy lived in a time when the black people were discriminated from the white people. Reading this article, I started to think how some situation can affect us, like this boy who was waiting on the line of a drugstore and discovered his passion for books. He was thirteen years old when he had to drop out of school, and started to work to help support his family. He decided to buy a bicycle and looked for a job, finding one as a messenger at a photography studio called, “The Owl Foto Studio”. It was an interesting job for him, but one, part that he did not like was when he had to go to the drugstore to buy breakfast each morning for the white employees in the photography studio.
