"It was a classic photograph of the 1950's a young black girl (Dorothy Counts) in a prim, checkered dress, head erect and defiance in her eye, making her way through a angry white mob. Dorothy Counts, at 15 had been selected for her dignity and poise, her courage under fire, to play the role of racial pioneer. This was September 1957, a time when few school districts in the South were beginning to respond, sometimes voluntarily, to the Supreme Court's ruling of 1954, outlawing segregation in the schools." One of nine negatives in envelope labeled: "Integration at Harding High School and Alexander Graham Junior High / Dorothy Counts with mob scene as she enters Harding"; frame 40. The photo is one of several from Don Sturkey's book "This Old Wheel Will Roll Around Again: A Pictorial History of the South, 1950-1990." COURTESY OF DON STURKEY 2012
