cool-ass-shit: This is a photo of the first Black girl to attend an all white school in the United States—Dorothy Counts—being jeered and taunted by her white, male peers. This photo encompasses a lot of things that I really hate: prejudice, ignorance, racism, sexism, inequality… I’ve reblogged this photo a few times before but it always needs to be reblogged again. This picture makes me really sad. I am unbelievably impressed with her bravery. People like this woman, and the strength and bravery they have shown in their lives is absolutely awe inspiring. I love her face. It’s pure defiance. It’s “Come at me, bro” in it’s purest form. She’s a hero. A fuck can not be found.
