Wade In

RantWoman with sincere enthusiasm celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the first wade-ins by African Americans on whites-only beaches in Ft. Lauderdale FL.

RantWoman feels as though she is supposed by standards of source verification to go find links more specific than "I heard it on my local public radio station." However IT'S A HOLIDAY.

RantWoman imagines that all the lawsuits and civic upset caused by the wade-ins might not have looked like fun at the time, but RantWoman is heartened by a judge who threw out the lawsuit and desegregated all Ft. Lauderdale beaches.

Happy Fourth of July.

What standards of unjust normalcy are we called to transgress on Independence Day this year?
