@samiahurstmajno: #rubybridges is a true hero and her #books are being banned : buy them #BookTok This interview shows how little we so often know about even very recent #blackhistory
ironic that a little black girl had to face this and white parents are afraid of their children being exposed to even the knowledge of it

An 89 year old white firefighter said they didn’t save some people because they were black. To believe that person is worthless is unbelievable

As Americans, we have sacrificed compassion and desensitized to individual human experience. Even the word humanity has lost meaning here because it’s become a vague disconnected description of

Virginia had the same response. It’s part of the charter school movement origins.

There’s so much more. In many towns, white leadership chose to close public swimming pools rather than see them integrated. Powerful, destructive hate

this is why charter schools are so popular in the US - moving public funds to private schools allows for segregation.

How about in Virginia where they closed the public school system rather than integrate. Now they push vouchers for private/charter schools 🤷🏻♀️

Many blacks in the South have horrible stories about what happened after integration. Humiliated. Isolated. Criminalized
