Breaking Color Barriers.
In 1969, when Black Americans were prevented from swimming alongside whites, Mr. Rogers decided to invite officer Clemmons to join him and cool his feet in a pool, breaking a well known color barrier.
Bill Robinson aka Bojangles wasn't allowed to hold Shirley Temple's hand while filming the stair scene in the movie, "The Little Colonel." She insisted anyway and grabbed his hand during the act becoming the first time where an integrated couple was filmed dancing together.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Elanor Roosevelt invited Marian Anderson to sing at National Mall in front of thousands and on the radio to millions of listeners after being denied a stage with the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) because she was black.
In 1951, the Stork Club, an upscale restaurant, wouldn't seat Josephine Baker. Grace Kelly was nearby, and witnessed what had happened & walked out with her party, arm in arm with Baker. She never ate there again, and they became lifelong friends.
