1/ To my #TXST students: I’m super bummed that we won’t be meeting in class again. I am under no illusion that I can replicate what I do in the classroom online—I mean, it’s hard to yell at @the_voiceofmike to stop talking when I’m sitting on the couch with my dogs.

On November 14, 1960–63 years ago—6-year-old #RubyBridges integrated William Frantz Elementary School in #NewOrleans, #Louisiana. Many, including white moderates, believed that she was "out of order." Thank you to Ruby Bridges and her family for being "out of order."

The USOC suspended Smith and Carlos from the U.S. Olympic team. On October 18, the Committee ordered both men to vacate the Olympic village within 48 hrs. Despite their medals, the two athletes faced intense criticism in the media and received death threats upon returning home.

On October 16, 1968, #Black #Olympic sprinters #TommieSmith and #JohnCarlos engaged in a silent protest on the medal stand for the 200m. As the national anthem played, the two bowed their heads and raised black gloved fists in a protest against racial discrimination in the U.S.

Both men wore black socks with no shoes, and Smith also wore a black scarf around his neck. Smith raised his right fist to represent black power, while Carlos raised his left fist to represent black unity.
