That is the detail that made 1957 what it was. The mob did not hide. The girl snarling behind Elizabeth’s shoulder was Hazel Bryan, 15 years old herself, a fellow student, and history knows her name precisely because her face was bare. Those people went to church that Sunday. They believed history would agree with them, so they gave history their faces.

The men on that Metro train did not.
