Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer first aired 12 days before the Supreme Court finally ruled that the national government could force businesses to desegregate (although of course formally segregated school districts continued into the early 70s, and segregated proms were still a thing up through 2013 in parts of Georgia)
Exactly dude, exactly! This was stuff isn’t ancient history, it’s VERY recent and I find it really infuriating that there people of great power and influence today who were likely exactly like the katz in that picture. This sort of American history isn’t that old and I wish people didn’t try to create a narrative that segregation is some relic of the civil war era or something.
