[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the Black makeup was necessary. All the kid needed was a suit and a copy of an MLK speech. You don't need to paint or makeup your face for people to get who you are portraying. [/quote] I agree. But I recall that when I did a book report in second grade for the book Magic for Marigold, I made a blond wig (using an old St Patricks' day green hat and yellow string) so I could look like the blonde Marigold. (I have dark brown hair.) I braided it and everything -- put a ton of work into it for a 2-minute presentation, so it would be authentic. I know it is different because of the racial context, and really his parents ought to have known better and/or not objected when the school stepped in ... but I can see how the kid would think that going for added realism would be good.[/quote]
