Voting Registration Simulation: Second Round

This round Ms. Bibbo appeared completely uninterested in the people who wanted to register to vote. She ignored them by reading the paper, talking to the security guard, or saying she was busy. She suggested the mundane and unimportant things she was doing (talking about apple pie) were more important than the African Americans. She made them wait, but never let them return. None of the African Americans wanted to return after they had been badly treated. Then she told one person they were closed when they clearly were not. At one point the security guard brought out a weapon to make them leave.
