Quote for the Day:

Scenes from South Africa that shock the international conscience – destitute, dusty shanty towns where Black children grow up in the shadow of a privileged life they cannot touch – are not so different from what Arizona mining towns looked like when Harry Truman was president or, for that matter, John Kennedy. As late as the 1960s, segregation here was absolute. It extending [sic] to housing, schools, movie theaters, and social clubs. The first interracial couple in Morenci – a white woman who married a Mexican man – couldn't rent a house for decades. As one woman who grew up here put it, "There was a separate everything." In Ajo, Mexican-Americans were allowed to seim in the public pool once a week, on Wednesdays, just before the water was changed.
