My grandmother told me when she went to school the female teacher once called her out in front of the whole class becasue she was wearing a pantyhose/thights and they looked too much like pants in the teachers opinion. She was terrified and tried to defend her clothes for at least 20 minutes. If you wore pants to school as a girl the teachers were allowed to beat you with a ruler or they slapped you in the face. That was in the late 50s early 60s. 

Side note: She married young with 16. Out of love. But back then she had to ask my grandpa for a “permission slip” that she was allowed by her husband to work. WITHOUT HER HUSBANS PERMISSION SHE WAS FORBIDDEN TO WORK.

NEVER FORGET this was not even 70 years ago.

20-year-old young Black woman Megan Williams was held at a remote house in Big Creek and was tortured, sexually assaulted, and beaten for days before being discovered by the police. Once an assailant cut the victim’s ankle with a knife, calling her the n-word and confessing that she was kidnapped because of her skin color.

“They just kept saying ‘This is what we do to niggers down here,‘” Williams told The Associated Press.

However, six white people were charged with everything but the hate crime.

This brave woman hopes to attend college one day to become a nurse. 

This case deserves national attention and an outrage.
