It's very fascinating for me as a non-American to learn about momentous periods in American history like this - like a window into a past that is both unbelievable and at the same time almost painfully believable.

It's a wonderful story, isn't it, but sad too that so much was missed because of segregation? Thanks, Gigi!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
