Jamuna implant diesel right hero Then we certainly face racial
- 00:22
discrimination by the supreme court on racial segregation in schools
- 00:26
to be unconstitutional In practice most schools in the south
- 00:29
were still segregated It would require a lot of off
- 00:33
struggling and fighting But meredith not only was admitted to
- 00:37
ole miss university he also eventually obtained a law degree
- 00:41
from columbia university You know the one in new york
- 00:44
not and your bogus talk Yeah Okay so let's see
- 00:49
There's clearly something wrong here This is not smooth Sometimes
- 00:53
mohr isn't necessarily better Even in america has written the
- 00:57
sentence tries to cram ian Too many words if it

creates redundancy saying the same thing over and over and
- 01:37
over again You can't do that Get rid of b
- 01:39
We're looking for the answer choice that elevates the tone
- 01:42
while staying appropriately stingy with the words that choice is
- 01:46
a hard fought battle which unsurprisingly happens to be the
- 01:50
shortest one on the list So it would read like
- 01:53
this It would require a hard fought battle But meredith
- 01:57
not only was admitted told miss yada yada yada So
- 02:00
that's it It's c We're done And we're done struggling 00:02:03.97 --> [endTime] there Yeah Ouch
