OTD in 1961 white supremacists rioted because two Black students—Charlayne Hunter & Hamilton Holmes—registered at University of Georgia.

They didn't riot because they were denied rights, education, or justice—but because Black people wanted equality.

Mr. Holmes became Dr. Holmes and passed away in 1995. And Ms. Hunter became a world class journalist and is still with us today.

This isn't ancient history, it's contemporary reality.
