Making History

Sweet, beautiful, innocent girl wearing new white sneakers strides proudly into school, Flanked by guards with weapons for protection, ignoring sick slur scribbled on the brick. SECOND PLACE WINNER Written on February 5, 2021 For Double Tetractys Contest (Picture #1, 40 syllables) Sponsored by Eve Roper
