“There was a [white] woman in the crowd who told the girls ‘spit on her.’
..’by the time I got to the [school] doors, spit was dripping from the dress my grandmama had made for me to wear to school the first day.’”
~ #DorothyCounts
This happened when she was 15 years old.

"No matter what they have tried to do from murder to torture to erasing us from history to enslavement, nothing has worked to break our spirits. That's what they fear the most. That they can't break us."

We will not let them strip real history first hand accounts, primary sources, authentic voices from our collective history. We will restore our institutions 100% to 2015 levels. We will grow and improve from there. #DorothyCounts-Scoggins #Charlotte,NC1957

#DorothyCounts, the first black girl to attend an all white school in the United States, North Carolina, 1957.
Can you imagine how strong this little girl has to be..
Stronger than I've ever been.
Why shouldn't this part of history be told in modern classrooms? #BlackHistoryMonth
