¿Qué hecho histórico retrata la maldad humana de esa época?

(The Spanish language text is followed by the English translation.)

Dorothy Counts fue una de las primeras estudiantes negras admitidas en una escuela pública americana (blanca). La fotografía muestra su primer día de clase en la Universidad Harry Harding, en Carolina del Norte (EE UU), el 4 de septiembre de 1957.

El vestido de Dorothy fue hecho por su abuela especialmente para su primer día de clase. Le escupieron.

Cientos de alumnos siguieron y acompañaron su llegada al colegio. De vez en cuando algunos le lanzaban cosas y otros le hacían gestos obscenos. Los alumnos le gritaron que volviera a casa. Dorothy siguió adelante sin reaccionar.

Este absurdo momento de violencia continuó en los días siguientes. Fueron 4 días de persecución e insultos. Tiraron basura durante su comida y su taquilla fue saqueada.

Luego vinieron las amenazas telefónicas, agravando aún más la situación. Finalmente, sus padres consideraron que su vida podía correr peligro y optaron por retirarla del colegio.

Puede parecer poco, pero los cuatro días que Dorothy intentó asistir al instituto Harry Harding fueron de gran importancia para el Movimiento por los Derechos Civiles y el fin de la segregación racial en Estados Unidos.

What historical fact portrays the human wickedness of that time?

Dorothy Counts was one of the first black students admitted to a (white) American public school. The photograph shows her first day of class at Harry Harding University, in North Carolina (USA), on September 4, 1957.

Dorothy's dress was made by her grandmother especially for her first day of school. They spat on her.

Hundreds of students followed and accompanied his arrival at the school. From time to time some would throw things at him and others would make obscene gestures at her. The students yelled at him to go home. Dorothy went on without reacting.

This absurd moment of violence continued in the following days. It was 4 days of persecution and insults. Garbage was thrown during herlunch and her locker was ransacked.

Then came the telephone threats, further aggravating the situation.

Finally, her parents considered that her life could be in danger and decided to withdraw her from school.

It may not seem like much, but the four days that Dorothy tried to attend the Harry Harding Institute were of great importance for the Civil Rights Movement and the end of racial segregation in the United States.
