#BacktoSchool #tdih 1966 Grenada, Miss. school board postponed school rather than open doors to African American students who had registered to attend the two “white schools.” Read ⬇️a daily log from CRMvet. zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/gren…
CRMvet log from schools opening, 10 days later: "Sept. 12. A huge white mob surrounds Grenada's schools. Equipped with 2-way radios, they bar all approaches. Scouts in pick-up trucks search for Negro students (grades 1-12) coming to school and direct the mob to attack them. " 1/6
"There are few police in evidence & they do nothing to halt the violence. Some cars carrying Negro children manage to drop the kids off, but others are blocked. The majority of the 250 or so students are walking to school in 1's and 2's. . ." 2/6
