Being Different
Sometimes even the law isn’t enough to change the reality. When the American constitution eventually allowed African-Americans to attend white schools, not much changed. Dorothy Counts was the first to attend an all-white school but quickly had to leave. Too much bullying and intimidation had her leaving after only four days.

Plastic surgery? Michael Jackson? Nah, you can think even further back than that. Think Walter Yeo – this guy. Around 1917 was when the procedure called the ‘skin flap’ was created to treat hideous battle wounds. It’s quite difficult to tell which image came first.
