[–] WillFord27@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (1 child) I was surprised to learn Jane Elliott is still alive. MLK's assassination really wasn't as long ago as they want you to believe. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] daannii@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago Black slavery really wasn't that long ago either. 1863 163 years. That's roughly only 2 lifetimes ago. Two. But yeah segregation was 50 years. People are alive today that weren't allowed to use the same toilets as whites or share drinking fountains. Restaurants wouldn't serve them. Sundown towns. Lynchings. The latter is still occurring. permalink fedilink source parent
