When black children peacefully protest, UNARMED, they were met with beatings and savaged by police dogs.
When WHITE ARMED MALE ADULTS protest that they need a haircut, police somehow say they CHOOSE not to enforce the law. No dogs. No beatings. No water hoses. No cruel treatment at all. WOW.
Reposted from @wearepushblack What is the role of the Black child in our struggle for freedom? The Children’s Crusade of 1963 truly changed the game. Even when blasted with hoses and beaten by white law enforcement, these children didn’t back down. And their courage was broadcast by the media, encouraging more people to take action for a better tomorrow.
By marching on that spring day, these brave rebels with a cause shined light on the violence Black children also experience. While many were concerned about sending their babies to protest, it led to pivotal changes in the struggle for Black liberation. #PushBlack #TodayInBlackHistory
