Randy, In US, southern states did not allow blacks and whites to attend the same school, regardless of geographic proximity. In 1954, Supreme Court said that's unconstitutional. Southern governments blocked moves to integrate schools for the next 10 years. Finally Feds ordered schools to desegregate... So Ruby here needed fed escorts to get to the school in her neighborhood. Unimaginable bravery.
Micky, I graduated high school in '64. Never attended an integrated school (Alabama). But, like Randy inferred, 6yo's don't choose their schools. Neither do 17yo's! I remember a student asking our HS principal what he would do if a black person tried to integrate our high school. He said that he would take that person into his office and have a discussion about why and what they hoped to accomplish and explain to them what they might expect from the other students. When asked, "What would you do if they still wanted to attend" he replied, "I'd get them a class schedule just like we did for you". I never heard anyone utter a bad word about our principal.
#40 is the actual home improvement project everyone should be working on. Sure cheer me up if I'm walking down the street and suddenly a hand appears out of nowhere offering me a cocktail.
