Today is the first day since the week of Thanksgiving that I am the only one home for a full day!!! Oh my. I celebrated by getting a hair cut. On the way home I heard something that made me quite proud of Iowa:
CLARK V. BOARD OF SCHOOL DIRECTORS:
On April 14, 1868, the Iowa Supreme Court issued its opinion in Clark
v. Board of School Directors, establishing racial integration in public schools
and declaring “all the youths are equal before the law.” The court instructed
the Muscatine School Board to allow Susan Clark to attend a previously allwhite grammar school, stating “the board cannot, in their discretion, or
otherwise, deny a youth admission to any particular.
WHY IN THE WORLD DID IT TAKE Louisiana until November 1960?
Brave Ruby Bridges...did you know that her first year, she was in a class size of 1? Her father lost his job and grocery stores refused to sell food to her mother because of their brave actions.
Here is Ruby, many years later with Barbara Henry, the only teacher willing to teach Ruby that year.
