USC unveils monument honoring desegregation trailblazers

Today, the University of South Carolina unveiled a monument honoring the first Black students admitted since Reconstruction - Robert Anderson, Henrie Monteith Treadwell and James Solomon Jr. - whose enrollment six decades ago changed the course of university history.

WONDERFUL TO SEE BRAVE BLACK STUDENTS BEING HONORED FOR THEIR COURAGE AND TENACITY TO PURSUE THEIR EDUCATION IN THE MIDST OF HATRED AND IGNORANCE of WHITE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVED THE LIE OF WHITE SUPREMACY. Vote BLUE IN 2024 FOR A STRONG DEMOCRACY WHERE ALL CITIZENS HAVE THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION, OPPORTUNITY AND EQUALITY!!
