The image is a black and white photograph depicting a group of people, likely from the 1950s, walking together. In the foreground, a woman with dark hair, wearing a white shirt and holding books, is prominently visible. She is flanked by other individuals, some of whom are holding books as well. The background shows a crowd of people, some of whom appear to be observing the group in the foreground. The setting suggests a public space, possibly a street or a school area. The photograph captures a moment of protest or demonstration, with the individuals in the foreground seemingly marching or walking together with purpose. The image is accompanied by text at the top, which provides context about the historical significance of the scene.

my Papa was from Natchez, MS, and he told me stories about secretly giving little black children rides to school because they had to walk. They'd sit on his floorboards in his truck, or lay on the bed, so nobody would see, and he'd let them out in an alley near the black school. It was VERY dangerous. Not only was he white, he was also Italian Catholic in a town ran by the Klan. But Papa was just that way. When I came out he just blinked and said "Ok? And?". The teddy bears gave it away
