An example of discrimination in chapter four is when Dorothy Milton is not allowed to vote. When she walks to the voting office one day, the "COLORED" door is locked while the "WHITE" dooor is open and many white people are inside, voting. The woman sitting at the desk can see Dorothy outside the door, knocking on the window, but simply waves her away.She doesn't really treat her like a woman, or a customer, she treats her like a little girl who should just be minding her own business.When Dorothy returns another day, the same thing happens, so she gives the door a kick in frustration as she is leaving. The woman at the office then takes her license plate, and just a few hours later, her husband is notified that he might lose his job because of his wife's behavior. This is ridicolous and discriminatory because she had a right to be mad. They wouldn't let her in, when they obviously weren't very busy with their other customers.When Dorothy comes back yet again, the "COLORED" door is unlocked. When she walks in the woman asks her to sit in the waiting area. They rudely make her wait for almost three hours, and, because she is black, they have no intention of ever helping her vote.Finally, after a long wait, she has to answer the question "how many bubbles are in a bar of soap? ". The woman at the front desk had probably been told by her boss to do anything she could to stop blacks from voting, and if that meant typing up a ridicoulous, unanswerable question, then that's what she decided to do. To make all of this discrimination worse, though, the whites on the other side of the room were walking in and completing the voting process in a few minutes. This chapter really sums up all the awful voting experiences blacks had to go through.

 * In the book The Tugging String there is many examples of discrimination.One example from chapter 6 of discrimination is when Martin Luther King jr.was doing his speech, he complained that not one national newpaper or television station was following his demonstration.Another act is when the governer didnt let Martin march from selma to montgomery.Martin Luther King jr. did it anyway but illegally.I think all these acts of discrimination are really sad. if i were black i couldnt do lots of thing i love like theater,restaurants, and fun playgrounds**
