Sugar cane was now an ingredient in ceremonies involving fire. ... Though Indians used sugar in rituals, they also enjoyed eating chunks of sugar cane. The word for "a piece of sugar" in the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit is khanda, which, as it passed through Persian to Arabic to Europe, became candy. Sugar had a third use in ancient India-it was considered a medicine. Today we say, "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."

I, Too, Sing America by Langston Hughes
I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--

I, too, am America

I want people to know that she was a great teacher who loved her family and her country. She had the courage to
speak out and do something about the injustice. She worked hard to pass redress. When a group of people feel
they have been treated unfairly by the government, the US Constitution guarantees you the right to redress the
government. The Japanese Americans did that and because the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 was passed by
Congress, our constitution is strong again. It was weakened by Executive Order 9066 when President Roosevelt
ordered 120.000 innocent Japanese Americans into internment camps. Mary Tsukamoto always took the initiative
to follow her beliefs. She was a respected author (she wrote the book, We the People, a Story of Internment in
America), a political activist and someone who worked for world peace. She was selected by the California State
Senate as a Notable Californian.

Read the excerpt from Maryam's personal narrative. The vertical garden that Mr. Lopez taught me how to build not only changed the way we eat, but it helped my family spend less on groceries. When the school board accepted my proposal to start a program to teach families to grow their own food, I knew just who to call to help me make it work.

EXCERPT:
Morris Remembers the Steamship

When we got on the Rotterdam, we had a field day. One, I was never on ship before and it was absolutely, I was awed by it. It was overwhelming. All the people and boarding the ship, it was all a brand new experience. We left Rotterdam, we set sail and about half an hour after the ship started my sister got very sea sick. It took us fourteen days to cross the Atlantic and in the entire crossing, she was in steerage, and the only time she came up for a breath of fresh air was just about half hour before we saw the Statue of Liberty. Now the experience of the ship, being young was an adventure in that particular situation, because my brother and I, we would sneak aboard, we were always chased. And we saw some people who traveled maybe in first or second class and we looked upon them as royalty, but we were confined primarily to steerage.

Steerage was one huge place. It was the lowest deck. The stench, it was the summer, in August, the humidity, the heat, having no air-conditioning, having cooling facilities, it was very hot, compounded by the fact that there must have been anywhere from 2 to 300 people in that huge carnivores area. The body smells, the body odors, the lack of sanitation, The lack of any kind of facilities, washing, there is no such thing as washing or bathing. The stench, the vermin, it was rat infested. But, being children, I guess, it had its advantages, in this case because we were always try to get out of there. We tried to go, get out of the steerage, get out of our babble voices, get out of the heat and stench and get on the main deck. We all were permitted to stay there a little while but we were constantly chased. But the crossing went for us, for me in particular, went very quickly.
