It is hard to believe that only 52 years ago in the United States, ground breaking news was that a black young man actually was going to school in Mississippi with white children. Seen here, a young first grader at the Gorenflo Elementary School in Biloxi, Mississippi was leaving school surrounded by his white classmates after his first day. A rare image that really touches you when you think about how far we have come as a society!
