It's mid-season
when Arthurjoins the sophomore team.

:35:12
he was so depressed and devastated,
hejust closed himself off in the room.

:35:16
I would go in there and tell him
every day, "hey, things will look up. '"

:35:25
Coming off the bench,
Arthur wears number 11...

:35:28
Isiah Thomas's number.
:35:45
What kind of techniques were being used...
:35:48
to take away the freedoms
that had been earned?

:35:52
- Jeannetta.
- Poll tax.

:35:55
Poll tax. Okay, Arthur,
what other techniques were used...

:35:59
to keep black Americans from voting?
:36:02
Um-
:36:04
You could almost forget
about his being there.

:36:07
That's how quiet he really was.
:36:10
I think the transition
had something to do with it.

:36:19
In comparing
Marshall high School to St. Joseph...

:36:22
I don't think
that there is any comparison.

:36:25
People can afford
to send their children there.

:36:28
They can afford to put money
into the school.

:36:32
Once they walk in those doors...
:36:34
they walk in there to get that diploma
and to go on to college.

:36:38
Whereas our students,
if they get out ofhigh school...

:36:43
a lot of them,
it's an accomplishment.

:36:47
Trinomial. What's this gonna be?
Both of these are what?

:36:51
Ifhe wanna go back next year...
:36:55
he gonna go back, if I have to beg.
