There was a little girl in California
~ Kamala Harris
who was part of the second class
to integrate her public schools
and she was bused to school every day.
That little girl was me.
American – Vice President Born: October 20, 1964
Porte Ponderings:
Integration was an important step towards eliminating discrimination. All children would receive the same education opportunities. Happy Birthday Kamala Harris and thankyou for your courage to get on the bus and go to school.
Unfortunately all these years later it breaks my heart to see new private schools being established, black only, female only gyms, my religion only…..These seem like such a step backwards. What’s next? White only? Male only clubs?
Today is Local Radio Day in the United Kingdom. I love my local radio station. It plays every morning as I have my first coffee and catch up on Facebook Posts and my e-mail. MyFM Strathroy keeps me up to date with the local events and politics. Thank you to our local radio stations.
