This is a photo of the first Black girl to attend an all white school in the United States—Dorothy Counts—being jeered and taunted by her white, male peers. This photo encompasses a lot of things that I really hate: prejudice, ignorance, racism, sexism, inequality…
I’ve reblogged this photo a few times before but it always needs to be reblogged again.
This picture makes me really sad. I am unbelievably impressed with her bravery.
People like this woman, and the strength and bravery they have shown in their lives is absolutely awe inspiring.
I love her face. It’s pure defiance. It’s “Come at me, bro” in it’s purest form. She’s a hero.
