Dorothy was one of 4 Black students to integrate Charlotte, NC schools on 9/4/1957. Due to violence from white students, she left Harding High 4 days later.

Mike Brown was murdered 9 years ago today. His killing started an uprising that was repeated again in 2020. Today the police continue to murder, brutalize, harass, and imprison Black people. It will take more than an uprising to stop this. We need a revolution.
