I don't know what most white people in this country feel.

I can only include what they feel from the state of their institutions.

Now, this is the evidence.

You want me to make an act of faith, risking myself, my wife, my woman, my sister, my children,

on some idealism which you assure me in America, which I have never seen.

Welcome back to Black History for White People,

a podcast where we educate, resource, and challenge white people about black history.

I'm Brad, and on today's show are my co-host Katina and

Garan. Today's topic is the Biloxi Wade in. We first paint the picture of what was going on in

the country, discussed segregated pools and beaches, introduced some of the main people involved

specifically in Biloxi, what actually happened that day, the aftermath of the violence,

and we end the episode with

some reflections from some people who were directly involved. We hope you enjoy the discussion.

Before we dive into this episode, we recently had an organization reach out to us for a diversity,

equity, and inclusion training that Garan you spoke for, and it went

over really well. And we just wanted to throw out at the beginning of this. If that's something

that your organization or your HR or your team or a group of people that are looking for someone

to do that, we can't provide that. Our email is in the show notes. It's just hello at black

history for white people.com.

We'd be happy to be a resource to anyone that can benefit from it. So feel free to reach out to us.

Okay, so the Biloxi wait-in. Garon, before you kind of set up the scene for us, I know that

Biloxi is in Mississippi. I know that this has to do with segregated beaches.
