pretty neat
looking at this pic always makes me wonder if the guards ever fought each other because of shit like this... because they all have their weapons out of their holster and that's just a step away from getting or shooting someone

Yeah no...they all knew what was at stake...there were a lot of confrontations like this but it was always an "almost" situation.

(only exeption that comes to mind was when a east german deserter killed two borderguards and the shots heard let to west and east german border patrols blind firing at eachother)

>>1301871
Honest question, when did it become socially acceptable for whites and blacks to inter-mingle in the North?

I see a lot of pre-Civil Rights pictures of them together in crowds/groups, but I'm curious as to how normal it was for them to share real social interaction prior to the 1960s.

>>1301893
Extremely uncommon, outside of work or other social obligations.

The North afforded financial and social opportunity for blacks but the people very firmly kept them at arm's length while the South tended to keep a lid on them but within the same social classes it wasn't uncommon for blacks and whites to fraternize.

Wait a sec shouldn't there be at least a faint shadow being cast on the windowsill? The picture quality looks decent enough to pick one up.

Do you think those Americans celebrated Easter?

My grandmother was born in the 30s grew up in bumfuck poor pennslyvania, and honestly she never had a problem with blacks since day 1. Her father cared more about making sure the harvest went well than about race. So apparently one time she was in the south and willingly sat in the back with some blacks, and she genuinely didn't understand why the other whites gave her looks.

Most blacks are christians, and easter is a really important holiday, so I would think so.
