This is in the United States, during segregation.

The little girl in the picture is Ruby Bridges. In 1960, she was one of the first Black kids to integrate a school. In this picture, she is walking to an all-Whites school and the guards are protecting her because the racist white adults wanted to harm her just for wanting to go to school.

Ruby Bridges is still alive today.

6-year old Ruby Bridges walking to school.

This picture was always so powerful to me. I think I had that one famous illustrated storybook about Ruby Bridges.

Already seen it.

It didn’t help

Yeah, because the American school system.is completely shit!

Wait, im sorry, huh? How did the teacher even know about it if it was during the weekend?

Whatevs 🙄 😒

But I dont wanna take a cold medication for allergies

I wanna take an allergy med for allergies

Benadryl doesn’t work for me anymore though.

Stopped working almost 6 years ago when I was 16

But I don’t wanna take a cold medicine, I don’t have a cold! It’s just allergies, so I should just take an allergy med!!

I mean, I do like Tabasco.

Up there with Louisiana as my favorite brand of hot sauces

Then you should have just said that!

Allegra d stopped working on me

Same with benadryl.

That’s why I dont take either

I still just want an otc allergy med that treats stuffy nose.

I dont want a cold medicine

No, cause what does swelling have to do with any of this‽

I hate nasal sprays though

I don’t think im thinking about this wrong at all

They should just make ALLERGY MEDS that treat stuffy nose.

…I don’t see how that’s comparable to this at all

If that were the case, then there should just be allergy meds that treat stuffy nose then

But I don’t want a cold medicine, I just want an allergy medicine that treats stuff nose!
