Beat: This girl will be a lawyer soon

[miajag]

Topic of discussion in class today is civil rights movement/desegregation. During the discussion of Brown v. Board of Education, the professor gives us kind of a narrative on the subsequent history, e.g., National Guard being called in, Gov. Wallace blocking the doors to the university, basically stuff anyone who passed high school history or has seen Forrest Gump should know.

When he gets to the part about how Thurgood Marshall (who represented Brown) was made a Supreme Court justice, girl who is the real-life equivalent of Kelly from The Office leans over to the girl next to her and loudly whispers, completely seriously, "IS THIS A TRUE STORY???"
