Incredible story about a white woman from the South, raised under the umbrella of racism and segregation, but would not assimilate these practices into her heart. Instead, she went against everything her and her community stood for and chose to fight in the civil rights battle. Being jailed, beaten, almost killed, didn’t deter her. Stories like these need spoken of and recreated in schools. They’re an inspiration to us all 🖤🤍
