Charles Thompson greets his new classmates at Public School No. 27 in September 1954, less than four months after the Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation was unconstitutional. Charles was the only African-American child in the school. Photo by Richard Stacks for the Baltimore Sun. [1200×926]
What children should look like—unbothered by the world or their parents influence.

Love this picture!
No one is born racist. Racism is learned. Eff people who teach their children to hate.

It’s really nice to see a picture like this. In most of the pictures of desegregation in schools you see white students spewing hate. I’m actually getting emotional looking at this.

Another photo taken of Charles, classmates and his teacher the same day:
It’s still mind-boggling to me that the fact there was segregation and seperate toilets/transport/seating places/schools etc etc for people in a modern already developed country like USA! It’s not even long back it was when rockets and satellites were invented! It’s when my dad was a kid!

Seeing how happy those kids are show you how much hatred is taught by adults and society
