accras: northw0man: luciferlaughs: Dorothy Counts was the first black girl to attend an all-white school in the United States. This photo, captured in 1957, shows her being mocked and teased by a crowd on her first day of school. During her short enrollment there, her peers spit on her and pelted her with rocks and trash. Once her family started receiving threatening calls, they withdrew Dorothy from the school after four days. This is Dorothy now. Don’t act like all of this isn’t in living memory. Those kids jeering and abusing her raised children and are helping raise grandchildren, vote, hold positions of power… Evil begets evil.. Tell me this is all “in the past” one more time. -- source link
