I'm not a selfie person so there aren't too many pix of me in my scrapbooks. But sometimes just being there, especially someplace that has been photographed many times before, is a huge part of the experience.
I can't count the number of times I've seen pix and video of Little Rock Central High School. The events that happened there have influenced so much of my life and continue to do so each day. Being there was what needs to be remembered so the selfie became important.
And while I was there, a student who was in the school that day stopped by. She told how, because her parents supported integration, people stopped shopping at the chain of stores they owed. They lost their businesses and Dad was unable to get a job anywhere for many years.
She was there.
Being there is what made this place special, dude.
