I mean, but when you were saying that thing of an all white school and an all black school coming together to have like that seemed very advanced. And that's also in Mississippi. Yeah. So it's like obviously there's pockets of people who are really especially the white community. People who knew that change had to happen.

Very valid question to this day. It sure is.

That makes me think of leading up to the election, there was a video about this woman who made a T-shirt with the receipt from when she voted the first time, I think, when she was 18. Did you see that video? A black woman who's, you know, older now, obviously. And it was the $2 receipt for her having to pay a poll tax, which all black... people had to pay when they were voting.

That's what a poll tax is. Holy shit. When was this? When did she vote originally? Right. It was... I can't remember. I think she said it was like in the late 40s or so. Oh, my God.

I've never heard of this, like... This feels like I'm trying to rack my brain of like, have I seen like a movie about this or something?
