1. And the unrepentant objectifiers from the civil rights movements.

And those desperately seeking someone to blame for the economic woes the country is having...and unable to cope with/comprehend guilt and their own responsibility in enabling this mess.

All those "entitled" folks had "entitled" kids. Now the "entitlement" and reality are in harsh contradiction.

4. They like slaves, because they are cheap and they can blame all of their misfortunes on them.

6. She actually apologized years later.
You can look her up. She sent a private letter to the AA woman. Later both decided to share.

It's got a happy ending.

9. An interesting story about that picture and what has transpired since that day.


Will Counts' 1957 photograph of Elizabeth Eckford (upper frame, foreground) is one of the 100 top photographs of the century, according to the Associated Press. Counts photographed Eckford and her former tormenter, Hazel Bryan Massery (at left, in front of Little Rock's Central High School) at the 40th anniversary of the school desegregation effort. The two women will speak at IUB Monday.

Also a wiki entry on Mrs. Massery: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazel_Massery
