The first black child ever allowed to attend a white school is only 68 years old now.White parents pulled their children from school. White teachers refused to teach her. Ruby Bridges now works as an activist & public speaker This wasn’t a million years ago. /1

We can never go backwards. Make America great again? When was that? When interracial marriage was illegal? When a little black girl couldn’t attend school with white kids? When a woman couldn’t get a credit card without her husband’s consent?We must go onwards together. /2

There was only one teacher who was willing to teach Ruby even though she received abuse & death threats and that was BarbaraHenry. The right thing to do isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Do it anyway. /3

@TheRealTraceyDelaney Not sure why it's some sort of victory to force black kids to go to school with Whites. 🙄

@TheRealTraceyDelaney Seems like a waste of effort if those are her professions though. But I guess, American education is mostly daycare anyway.

@david_colquhoun Hello, yes it's annoying when USians forget that other countries exist, but I feel like maybe there are better times to raise objects and worse times. This is not the post I would pick for it.

@david_colquhoun @celesteh First of all, I was born and raised in Ireland. Hi! Secondly segregation of white & black school children usually refers to USA or South Africa. Unless you want to be pedantic and refer to other types of segregation. So it’s moot to point out that this didn’t happen in Ireland or Italy because white & black school children were never segregated in these countries.

@TheRealTraceyDelaney @david_colquhoun @celesteh I was talking to my mum about this the other day - she attended a small primary & grammar school in the late 50s in Somerset (UK) and discovered that while she thought the school was predominantly white, there was actually a 2nd class for PoC who had different playtime & were never seen.She was horrified as a child & it's haunted her knowing that it was allowed to happen.

@TheRealTraceyDelaney Boy, if they taught real American history in highschool, half the population would become radicalised overnight.Stuff like the Tulsa Massacre, the Trail of Tears, Operation Paperclip, Operation Condor, etc.“The motto of this country ought to be, 'You give us a colour, we'll wipe it out.'” - George Carlin

@ronak @TheRealTraceyDelaney not directly POC related, but there were also the Coal Wars, Operation Artichoke, 100 Day Hate Ins and a host of others too long to list here.

@AngryArtist @TheRealTraceyDelaney Americans crashed an entire airplane to assassinate Homi Bhabha, father of the Indian nuclear program. Setting back India at least two decades (if not more), it is speculated.Wernher von Braun, father of the American lunar program, was a Nazi scientist who helped make new kinds missiles and rockets for the Third Reich during World War II. He was smuggled into America via Operation Paperclip.It is also an open (yet unspoken) secret that Japan was already gonna negotiate the terms of surrender towards the end of World War II and that the Americans only dropped the two bombs to send a message to the Soviets and to scare the world into aligning with them.I don't even have to mention stuff like the My Lai massacre, right? 😭

This is kind of difficult for me to believe, I am 64 and my school had whites, blacks, koreans, japanese, among others and I don't think that was particularly cutting edge. This might be the case in the deep south.
