William McAllister remembers going to a baseball game with a white friend but not being able to sit with him at the game.

Teacher Resources for the Video:

Discussion Questions:
• Mr. McAllister grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. Why do students think he and the white boy were able to sit on the street car together but were forced to be separated at the ballgame? What might that say about discrimination laws versus practices in certain places?

Activity Ideas:
• During the video, Mr. McAllister refers to riding a street car. Are students familiar with this form of transportation? Did they have street cars in their town? Have students engage in local research to discover if street cars or other forms of public transportation were used in their town prior to, or after, World War II.
• Use the video in conjunction with other I Remember videos focused on racial discrimination and segregation as students explore the history of the Civil Rights Movement or as comparison to issues of civil rights today that you may be studying. Use keywords Civil Rights, Discrimination, or Segregation.
