Yes!! I remember when the first black child arrived at my elementary school in the early 60s. That poor child must've been scared to death. I will never forget him, his fear, and that part of our history. No history should be erased. Ever.
But remember that the change she represents was purchased with the blood thousands of people who, for decades, marched into harm's way, went to prison, got their heads split open,lost everything and even died. This is the lesson from black history that we need to focus on today.
Living in Africa, and being white, my daughter has just entered university and is the only white girl in her residence!
Lucky for us, this does not matter, it's just an observation.

In 1957, William and Daisy Myers and their three children became the first African American family to move into Levittown, Pennsylvania, a suburban development for post-World War II veterans. Their arrival was met with protests, threats, and a cross burning.
I read her story to my kids. My son was about 5 or 6. He would cry because he didn't understand why people were mean to her.
I always tried to have a diversity of books as they were growing up.
Celebrate the ancestors that survived their despicable enslavement (and those that didn't) and built this nation. #usahistory It can't be denied, or erased, no matter how hard they try.

She was strong and loved school. She loved school. MAGAt snowflakes can even stand ANY comments on their smarts! community guidelines protects THEM
Go figure
Never forget that today's MAGA Republicans are the exact same breed of racist degenerate who screamed the N word at this innocent black child and so many others like her.
To realize that most/all/some of those bigots are still alive today makes this even more poignant - it was not long ago they tried to deny us access and look where we are today, they are again striving to deny us. WE ARE NOT GOING BACK 👵🏼✊🏽
Absolutely. Own up. I remember when I learned the horrible treatment of Indians was not Manifest Destiny. Made me question everything and I found out I was lied to frequently which felt like betrayal
Educate: read books about black history and about the black experience, educate yourself take a college class on history listen to 1619 project, the museum to look at art made by Black people, talk about it with your kids, listen to music made by Black people, talk about the history of that genre
If America can deal with slavery, then segregation and come out stronger and better it can probably deal with Trump. But he's right up there with problems like the black death, so there's no certainty about it.
The difference is this time they know what to do, they've rigged the courts, and they've gerrymandered. They've put a better infrastructure in place this time.
What is sad to me is Judge Davies is buried in Fargo, ND, in a red state, with a predominantly white school named after him. He was the federal judge that decided this case.
Ruby, my age, attended an all-white school in New Orleans, but it took federal marshalls. Others were maybe luckier, like my first grade classmate, Carlton O. Our school was adjacent to a military base in Middletown, PA, and he was just another student. His dad, like mine, was attached to the base.
and isn’t it disgusting when the only thing the kids wanna do is learn. And then musk has the audacity to criticize Americans and say they are not smart enough to work in his fucking industry. He just wants to keep them dumb and poor.

And to think a Republican president and military hero who defeated Fascism in Europe, started desegregation and today’s Republicans want to embrace segregation AND fascism
Ruby Bridges ❤️
Four months older than my husband. 10 years older than me.
The first person of color in my school was Maria, from Mexico.
My kids' dad is indigenous. He remembers getting beat up stopped when Mexican and African American kids started showing up.
What is Mrs Bridges story of skool
My kids watched the 1990s movie and were shocked by it! That people could be so mean! I keep telling them that you need to learn history, so we don’t repeat our mistakes!
People that threw rocks at Ruby Bridges for trying to go to school are now afraid that their grandchildren will learn about them throwing rocks at Ruby Bridges for trying to go to school. Happy black history month.
and we adults of ALL colors have to be strong enough to withstand it. Trump about to put us all through it. I know many of y'all never been through it. Hop on my back!
people say they don’t want critical race theory in school, I really wonder what they think is happening, and I want them to take a critical race class aka history, and then I want them to answer the question should critical race therapy be part of the curriculum?
Spoiler: it will always be.
And now we are on our way back to square one with all the progress that has been made. We better not assume that black people will have equal rights to straight white men. They won’t. Not until we defeat the enemy.
I have heard of that but haven’t gone yet. We didn’t have enough time last year to get there. When we go we stay off midnight pass rd in a condo off of crescent beach . It’s so beautiful. You really can’t beat that view.

78% of Black men didn't vote for Trump, they voted for Harris.

If you dare not show children the truth of what happens every day in slaughterhouses then perhaps you shouldn't be feeding them animal flesh.
Go vegan to show unity with the oppressed.
