Such a beautiful, beautiful exhibition, and your speaking about it here brought tears. Thank you for doing this work!
What a delightful, under-rated, video.
Great video, what happened to school songs and pride in them? It was truly a fight for justice, one that made America great. Let’s get together all colors and move forward not back.
After seeing this you've earned a sub. All my life (well most of it) I've lived here and I've never heard about most of this. I hope you keep bringing us more of our history!
Thanks for uploading these videos very interesting
You fought a very good and necessary fight against the Democrats’ tyranny and racism. You are to be commended . Thank you!
A fantastic presentation.
