First I will like us to get an understanding of the word courage.
The word courage means the ability or willing ness to deal with something that is dangerous, difficult,or simply acting without fear of failure. Courage is the ability to do something difficult even when there's risk.

We all need the courage to start things we pursue. At the start, if we think about the result, we will go into the fear zone.
But courage helps us overcome fear and makes us attempt things we were scared of before.

COURAGE

Characters;

ANTHONY- 32 years old man , who shows courage in the face of adversity to fight against racial prejudice. He does this by taking meaningful actions and messages to combat prejudice even in the face of fear.

GARY- on the other hand is a young girl of 21years who served as a maid and wanted to write a book on prejudice and racism. She could not do that on her own, so she needed soneone to help her write the book which was something risky to do because if cought she will be sent to prison.

ANDREW- a young handsome boy of 25years who was wrongly accused of raping a young white girl just because of his race and skin colour.

Charles - is a white male lawyer, who decides to take on the case of defending Andrew whois black, for his false accusations.
