In march book two, the theater was the next place they planned to do stand ins after weeks of doing it in the diner. These attempts to buy a movie ticket for the Ten Commandment movie were continuously denied because they would not sell tickets to black customers. Day after day they would attempt but would get the same result. In addition to being denied they faced discrimnation and hate speech by the white people standing in line behind them. The white people acted as if they were an inconvenience to them. They would get spit on, stuff thrown at them, and heard derogatory terms used towards them. 

The ten commandments hold sacred value for those who believe them. They are seen  to be the “rules” given to us by God. It goes over the do’s and don’ts to live by as a practicing religious individual. You can make the assumption that anyone of the time going to see the Ten Commandments movie in theater had a religious background that supported this belief. Yet do their actions portray God’s word? Absolutely not! The people standing in line were living a life of hypocrisy. By discriminating and disrepecting black people they go against commandments 3,5,6,8. For those who don’t know, those listed would be thou shall not take the lord’s name in vain, honor your father and mother, shall not murder, and shall not steal. You make question why I bring up the last one but the people discriminating are taking away rights of black people and robbing them of their dignity they rightfully should have.
