Summarize the story to which you listened and provide a link to that story. Then write three follow-up questions that you would like to be able to ask the person(s) telling the story.


In the story, Alex is a young African American who grew up with his adoptive white parents. At a young age, he is taught color does not matter. However, one day he is driving with a friend. He is pulled over for making an illegal left turn, and the police ask him to get out his car. Then, the police finds out his friend, who is white, has a bag of cocaine and they arrest him. The police begin to search his car, and he kindly asks the police for a warrant. Three policemen beat him to unconsciousness and he is waken up in a hospital.  
How did your family feel about the event? 
Did you and your family try to send this case to court?
Do you still talk to your friend who was in the car with you?
