Black Students Interviewed On Unfairness While Trying To Integrate Mississippi School, 1966.

It was difficult but we must not forget or forgive.

The issue has never been about being a Black person. It has been about being a Black person in America. The conditioning of our segregation area still impacts culture to this very day. We must overcome it. @TPstudios

Words can’t even describe the courage these kids had!

So beautiful, smart and brave all of them! 🥰

Whites have been/are delusional into believing blacks want to be with them. Had the racist US govt given/provided for blacks as they did/do whites, blacks could've remained in their schools. But whites lied to themselves believing their own lies of separate but equal. Pathetic.

This is heartbreaking. If we are not wanted or accepted, We need to build our own. Oh wait, we did, 1921 Tulsa Black Wall Street and RoseWood 1923 were both raided by jealous racist white folks. But this time they ain't dealing with that generation anymore.

The resolution of that little girl is admirable. Her answer to the ❓ of going back to school. She wants to go to school... Is powerful in the simplicity of the answer.

Would we have been better off spending this energy building and perfecting our own schools?

No wonder why some want to erase history.

My fam's school was the one the whites integrated into. Whole community had come together and built a nice shool for their kids. White kids came in on the 1st day, damaging it, and all the black kids ran them out
