On this day in 1956, Autherine Lucy became the 1st black student admitted to University of Alabama, after a long legal battle that included the Supreme Court.
Riots ensued and She was expelled 3 days later for "her own safety”. #BlackHistoryMonth
You don’t have to watch the video of #TyreNichols being beaten by police.
You don’t have to subject yourself to that trauma.
It should not require another video of a Black human being dehumanized for anyone to understand that police brutality is an urgent, devastating issue.
