The “Odd One Out”
Dorothy Counts has gone down in history for being the first African American to attend a then “all-white” school. Although the Supreme Court had ruled that segregation was illegal and that she should be able to attend at her own free will, she was tormented so badly by her white classmates that she didn’t even get through a week at the school. We’ve come a long way since then, but as the killing of George Floyd showed, there is certainly still a way to go to root out systemic racism in America.

The Origins Of Plastic Surgery
These days, plastic surgery can turn some of the most jarring features into beautifully sculpted areas. These kinds of doctors earn the big bucks as they help people to improve their self-esteem, but they also send a strong message about what society is “supposed” to look like.

Today, one might call this a botched operation.
