Joy-Ann Reid on Instagram: "They’re banning history to cover up the crimes of their parents and grandparents… . Repost from @somethingblackmade • The Forgotten Story of the Leesburg Stockade Girls. In 1963, 15 Black girls, some as young as 12, were locked in a filthy stockade in rural Georgia for peacefully protesting segregation. No beds, no toilets, no calls home. Just concrete floors and silence. Their only crime was demanding equal rights. For nearly two months, they were hidden from the world, until a SNCC photographer exposed the truth. #SBM #somethingblackmade"
