15 year old Dorothy Counts walking into an all white high school in North Carolina, 1957. Students shouted insults, threw objects, and mocked her as she entered the school. The photo became one of the defining images of the Civil Rights Movement in America.
some of these people are still alive and they vote.
Nearly every school in much of the US had a brave student like her, one who had the courage and dignity to break segregation. She is a hero.
Y’all my dad lived through the end of this bs, he’ll tell you about getting water bottles thrown at him while he walked to school (edit not work). I’m 25 btw.
While smiling. Proud of themselves.
I love when people in the south claim racism there isn’t as bad as the media shows.
