Context for the non-American reader:

"It's too bad about Life's reporters. If only they knew what it was like to live with so many Negroes. In November 1953 my husband, our four children and I moved 2,500 miles away from our beloved South Carolina so our children wouldn't have to go to schools with Negroes!
Mrs. J.H.Wilkes

Wiki: Little Rock Nine


In fairness to a "broad minded" South, Boston and Philly ain't no walk-around.

RIP.at.last. Sylvia.
