The funny part about the test was that six children passed it to go to the all-white schools, but none of them were boys, it was all girls. Later my parents found out that the two other girls in my district had been taken out by their parents because they thought it was going to be a bad idea. I was going to William Frantz alone.
Love is Love. Better to Love than Hate!!!
Bravery knows no age or gender.
I like to share my story with children, and they are amazed by the story.
You cannot look at a person and judge him or her by the color of their skin.
None of our kids come into the world knowing anything about disliking one another.
We have tolerance, respect, and equality in our written laws but not in the hearts of some of our people.
Evil looks like you and I. I know what evil looks like, and I know that it comes in all shades and colors.
I was the first black child to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana in 1960.
My message is really that racism has no place in the hearts and minds of our children.
Kids come into the world with clean hearts, fresh starts.
When it comes to love, never be reckless with someone else’s heart.
