June Jordan tries to teach her class about Black English. When they all finished reading their first assignment of it they all were confused saying it did not make any sense. But why would it be difficult for them to read if Black English was originated from the Standard English? When she tried to show them how to interpret it into Standard English, they all realized it was not as hard as they thought and started having fun with it. It became much easier for them to understand and enjoy. Black English is just another unique language that shows a different approach to its meaning. They were able to take the Black English and use it to express to the police how they felt about the killing of Reggie Jordan. The Black English helped give them their own chance on expressing how they felt in a different style text which opened them up more to the people. Even though their letters did not make it into any newspaper or television news station they felt better knowing they still were able to express themselves in a unique manner.
