in 1957 when we moved to NC, schools and most everything else was still segregated. With the exception of the Marine Air Station at Cherry Point where we lived, "white only" and "colored only" signs were everywhere.

My friend who lived next door went to a different school.. This made a huge impact on me.

And Alito has the nerve to slam the Biden administration in his dissent. Infuriating asshole.
