Count me among those finding some hope and direction from Heather Cox Richardson.

When peacemaking programs stop, violence escalates, and families are displaced.

Today, for Black History Month, we remember events of February 6, 1956, when white students rioted at the University of Alabama against court-ordered admission of its first black student, Lucy Autherine. After Brown v the Board of Education, the University of Alabama was forced to accept African American students. Even though they let Lucy attend classes, they still barred her from all dormitories and dining halls. Lucy attended her first class on Friday, February 3, 1956. On Monday, February 6, 1956, riots broke out on the campus. A mob of more than a thousand men pelted the car in which the Dean of Women drove Lucy between classes. They threatened her life and stoned the University president's home. Afterward, the University suspended her from school “for her own safety.”
