Title: Chapter 11 of Say I'm Dead by E. Dolores Johnson
After dinner, we snuggled up on our new couch, watching TV, me in my nightgown. About halfway through the program, an insistent banging started on the front door, so loud Luther and I both jumped. He approached the door cautiously while I ran back to the bedroom to pull a dress over my head. I heard the door latch open, then nothing.
He stood just inside the threshold, looking ahead like he was nailed in place. Standing beside him, I saw nobody was out there, anywhere. The street was silent and dark, except for the blaze illuminating the night sky. On our front lawn, flames jumped off a burning wooden cross, and hammered into our lawn near a tree. page 125 of Say I'm Dead
"Good God Almighty," I said, a sharp tingle electrifying my spine.
We took in that symbol of hate, scared to go out. Scanning our hundred-foot frontage and then the street, we couldn't see anybody moving. It was eerie, how still the night was, no neighbor coming outside when a fire crackled on a crucifix.
In the next days, our house was egged, then another morning we found garbage strewn on the lawn: coffee grounds and dirty diapers, empty soup cans and, newspapers, leftover chili and chicken bones. Luther called the police, who said they couldn't do anything about it after the fact. So, we cleaned it up and hosed down the house and grass. page 130 of Say I'm Dead

Title: Introduction
In our video, We chose to base it on interracial marriage and relationships, and how it used to be widely hated and unwanted. We chose this because in the book, Say I'm Dead, E. Dolores Johnson faced many problems due to being in an interracial relationship. We show themes of love and social injustice in our video to give insight into how interracial couples were treated at that time.

- I liked how they actually had people in his video act like an interracial couple.
- I also like how the AI art that they put also showed an interracial couple
- I really liked the dialogue they used and I thought Kimor was a very good actor.
- Why did they choose an Asian and Black person?
- What was the purpose of the music in the beginning?
My favorite part was when Kemora and Kimor started narrating the video and gave background on discrimination against interracial couples. They gave facts and images which was very helpful.
To incorporate facts about interracial couple discrimination into the dialogue, you need to focus on how the characters express their fears and experiences. You can do this by including conversations where they talk about what they’re going through and how it affects them.
Let’s think about the question of incorporating facts into your dialogue. You could show Luther and the narrator discussing the history of discrimination against interracial couples, possibly mentioning specific events or laws that show why they are so scared. This conversation could happen after they see the burning cross.
Here is the first Exploration to help you think more about this:
