If you look at the Ruby Bridges pictures you'll see school aged kids who are still very much alive and vote like crazy. I pointed this out to my brother one day and he was totally caught off guard. And he's a pretty smart dude, it's just something that has been framed as "in the past" to us our whole lives by pretty much every institution. Propaganda works, very insidiously.
The civil rights museum in Memphis,TN is amazing. What made it impactful to me is very much that. Seeing the buses, diners, the hotel, all modern things made me realize these things basically just happened. Black Americans have had a long arduous road to just exist in the country they were forced to come to. And they're always being gaslit, told it happened long ago, didn't happen, it wasn't that bad etc.
