The Ones Before Us
May 3, 2018
Our ancestors
bore the bruises,
the beatings
slashes and dashes
so that we could
coexist.
They risked
their lives,
their reps
so that a
black girl
could walk
through
her school
holding hands
with a
white boy.

I'm reading this book called Loving Vs. Virginia, which is about black girl Mildred and white boy Richard, the first legally married interracial couple in America.
