An Invaluable Lesson Outside the Classroom

African American students Jessalyn Gray & Steve Poster being confronted and taunted by an angry white mob when they attempted to enter Texarkana College. A day following the above incident a photograph was taken of a group of white students from the college reading the local paper Texarkana News, about how a mob of whites barred the two black students from entering the college. Everyone of them was smiling.
