The Logan's are a well off black family who happen to have lots of money, but people are still racism to them. Racism heavily affected the Logan's schooling, lifestyle, and their values. It affected them even though slavery had been abolished nearly 70 years earlier. Without racism the Logan's would have been treated equally by people's attitudes and by the law. But it was not as easy as that because there were many people who were very racist (the night men) and the were some people who were very loving like Jeremy Simms.

I have learnt that black people had to walk to school, receive items in the worst possible condition i.e. school books which could barely keep themselves together...
