One of my favorite days of the year The Principal of the Day! This year, my co-Principal was a 5th grader who came dressed for success! We visited classrooms, rode the elevator & did a safety drill! He even came early to school to do car duty in the rain with me and greet kids!

On this day in 1955, Claudette Colvin,15, was arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white woman on a public bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was arrested 9 months before Rosa Parks, but NAACP didn't want her to represent their organization because she was 15 and pregnant.

"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there." —Malcolm X

@iamopheliabyers I’ve been saying this this school year, I’m only doing as much as I can handle and no extra. The extra many times is thankless and also ignored.

On this day in 1961, Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Holmes, the first black students enrolled at the University of Georgia 2 days earlier, were suspended. This was after thousands of white people violently rioted. They were initially denied enrollment but a federal judge ordered their admission. —Hamilton simply wanted to become a doctor. Charlayne simply wanted to become a journalist. Both agreed that the University of Georgia had the classes they needed to reach those goals. But when they graduated from Henry McNeal Turner High School in Atlanta in 1959—Holmes as valedictorian and Hunter (now Hunter-Gault) as third in their class—it wasn’t quite that simple. Both Hunter and Holmes applied to UGA for the fall 1959 quarter but were denied. Holmes was accepted to Morehouse College, and Hunter enrolled at Wayne State University in Detroit, but they continued to submit applications to UGA each quarter. Eventually Hunter and Holmes became the first black students to attend UGA, but that is just the beginning of their stories. On January 9, 1961, thousands of white people violently rioted because Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Holmes registered at the University of Georgia, becoming the university's first Black students. Their enrollment came days after federal judge William Bootle ordered the university to admit them, ending a two-year administrative and legal fight to integrate the school. When Ms. Hunter and Mr. Holmes arrived to register for classes they were met by nearly 100 white students opposing their admission. The crowd grew in the coming hours and the opposition escalated into full-scale riots, involving nearly 2,000 white students, local residents, and Ku Klux Klan members. The rioters set fires outside Ms. Hunter's dormitory, hurled rocks inside, and yelled racist epithets. At least one student in the dormitory was injured by a flying object. After several hours, campus officers, city police, and local firefighters quelled the riot. In response to this violent white mob, composed of many white students from the university, officials forced Ms. Hunter and Mr. Holmes to withdraw from the university and Georgia state troopers escorted them home. White student leaders gloated at their victory, and one cited the University of Alabama's violent reaction to the enrollment of Autherine Lucy in 1956 as inspiration for their own demonstration. Days later, Judge Bootle ordered the university to readmit Ms. Hunter and Mr. Holmes. They both completed their studies in 1963, becoming the first Black undergraduate students to graduate from the University of Georgia. 🖋️You can support the page via donations to keep up on africanarchives.support 🖤 thanks!
