Jim Crow/genocide Survivors Answers the Doubt About Heart and Mind Damage

May 17, 2021 will mark the 67th anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education U.S. Supreme Court Decision.  The Justices ruled that the 88 years of Segregation Laws were unconstitutional because “it only existed to keep the status of the Negro down.”  In addition, Negro Children too young to express themselves with words used dolls; one White and one Black to express their feelings.  They were  asked to choose the one that looked like them.

Most of the 6 and 7 year olds, when asked to choose which doll was pretty, smart and good, chose the White Doll.  Many children chose the Black Doll that was bad, ugly and stupid and looked like them.  Some refused to choose, knowing the Black Doll looked like themselves.  Some chose the White Doll as looking like themselves because they did not want to be stupid, bad and ugly. 

So this inferiority damage, because it was serious, was genocide by definition.  The Supreme Court called it heart and mind damage and said it was doubtful that the Negro Children would ever overcome it.  Yet, the Court did not offer any counseling, money or other services to repair the damage, other than integration of the schools.  School desegregation, by busing, was resisted in many ways.  

Therefore, 5 delegates of Jim Crow/genocide Survivors will answer that doubt on May 17, 2021 with a Zoom online or in person visit to Washington D.C., citing U.S. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, who authored the Reparations D.R.E.A.M. Act in September, 2001; after the United Nations voted Slavery a Crime against Humanity and recommended Reparations for their Descendants.  We want a D.R.E.A.A..M. Act for American African Minors.
