Ponyboy was not sure what to think. He sure was not racist but he did not like the idea. He was taught by his mother that race,religion,size, or how wealthy you were meant nothing. You could be white and rich and be a bad person just as much as being colored and poor. Ponyboy thought his mother was right.  Since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot and died everything changed. The colored people were now allowed the same equality as whites. Though from what Pony has seen so far, and people were not even integrated yet, was that this was not going to be easy. People were going to fight. Ponyboy just hoped he or anyone else from the gang did not get caught up in it.
