Prejudice: Dorothy Counts is sneered at by a wholly-white
audience as she enrolls to start her schooling at Harding High School (Original picture by Don
Sturkey, September 4, 1957)
Dorothy Counts became one of the first black students to be accepted into the previously all-white Harding High School, in Charlotte, U.S..
Upon enrolling to start her journey she was mocked, spat on, racially abused and thrown rocks at.
In other states in the country, violence began to erupt as black people began to realise that they had to stand up for their civil rights.
Counts braved the walk through the school grounds in the face of disgusting abuse, and took her seat on enrolment day.
The actions of individuals such as Counts helped pave the way for the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s, and to this day she is seen as iconic in that she stood up, all alone, for who she was and what she stood for.
The sneering face directly behind the brave American girl holds much more prominence with added colour. The squinted eyes are much more recognisable and mocking smile emphasis the opposition Counts faced when she was simply trying to better herself.
to Dorothy for being Brave, and 
to those cacs!!!
