Carolina. Ronald had two brothers, Eric and Carl Jr. He had a mother and a father 
also. His mother's name was Pearl and his father's name Carol Sr. His mother 
was a well-educated teacher and his father was automobile mechanic. Ronald's 
mother and father were both determined to see their children succeed in life and 
get a good education. By the age of 3 Ronald was already able to read. A year 
later Ronald's father Carl Sr. decided to sent Ronald to school a year earlier 
because he was so intelligent. Ronald's parents always brought home books for 
Ronald to read them. Most of Ronald's childhood was spent on reading and 
studying. Ronald loved to read. Ronald was born during the time of segregation 
so that made it very hard for Ronald to grow up as a normal child that would have 
lived in peace. Where Ronald lived was mostly an African American 
neighborhood. At the age of 9 Ronald had already began to change society.
One day Ronald had decided to go to the library which was a "white's only 
institution" where African Americans were not allowd but Ronald decided to go 
anyway because he wanted to learn more. When Ronald was cought he refused to 
leave the building.
