During this era, many white Americans throughout the U.S., including in Northern states like New York, openly supported and fought for racial segregation. As this event helps to illustrate, many white people considered even socializing between races to be fundamentally incompatible with American life.

To learn more about racial segregation’s long history and enduring legacy, read EJI’s report Segregation in America.

Within a day, on July 14, the fashion show’s organizing committee announced that it would be removing each of the racially integrated scenes, effectively eliminating the Black models from the show. A spokesman for the show added that the organizers had not yet decided what, if any, future role would exist for the Black models—who were only 3 of 47 total models involved in the show.

Immediately after the previews, over 40 of the fashion editors in attendance signed and circulated a petition demanding that the committee remove three staged wedding scenes that showed racially integrated groups interacting with one another, claiming the scenes were not “representative of the American way of life.”

The fashion show, which was sponsored by the U.S. State Department and meant to illustrate daily American life, was to be exhibited in Moscow 10 days later. Before the exhibition opening, the organizing committee for the show hosted previews in New York, which dozens of American fashion editors were invited to attend.

lends to the concept of whispering a story in one person's ear and having that person whisper it into another person's ear and doing that in a long chain. The story gets distorted by the end.

Also, we have things carbon dated further back then the Bible would go.

Ok, maybe an unpopular opinion with religious ppl however simply bc archeology finds something that may coincide with something in the Bible doesn't make the whole Bible true. I believe personally in a higher power or God if you will however I do not believe in man's writing the Bible. I believe man has a high motive to write things that benefit themselves at any given moment not necessarily fact. Also being rewritten five million times

@mikeharmanos how about this?😂
