Story 012 | The Two Paths and the Broken Hearts

 

A long time ago in America, the law said that black children and white children had to go to different schools. They called it “separate but equal,” but the schools for black children were often not the same at all. A little girl named Linda Brown just wanted to go to the school near her house. Finally, the Supreme Court looked at the hearts and minds of the children. They realized that making children stay apart just because of their skin color makes them feel “inferior” in a way that can never be undone. They declared that “separate is never equal” and opened the doors for everyone to walk together. Can you really be “equal” if you are forced to stay on a different path?
