No one was allowed to cross it but they did try and over 100 people died trying to cross it.

For example, anyone could go into any building, but that doesn't mean everyone liked that. They might have been able to stop some segregation but there is no stopping verbal racism or whats done out of sight.]]> 2021-05-19 15:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewtysl34/6n26i1mkcnuvo4qw/wish/1540122400 andrewtysl34 https://padlet.com/andrewtysl34/6n26i1mkcnuvo4qw/wish/1540671571 Born in 1919 Jackie Robinson is an icon of sports and civil rights.
