The Unexpected Stand The Beatles Took on Their U.S. Tour

Don't forget that these 4 lads didnt grow up with the silver spoon in their mouths. They came from poor, hard working families. John and Paul lost their mothers when they were pretty young still. So they knew what compassion means.

I think all four of them do or did preserve that sense for injustice and morals all their lifes long

Many musicians' took the same view.

Great Britain never viewed black men and women as less after they gave up slavery in 1834!

[leonardsolis]

The British have always been the levelheaded ones.

[Wisolkofficial]

The fact that that was bold is so stupid, it's just normal damn sence...

[veekatore]

The Loving spoonful would not tour unless it was with integrated other bands.. They lost a lot of money not playing in the South.

Yay for the Beatles I'm sure all the black viewers of this post thinks it's great and in a way it is but you have to remember what was going on at that time see really can blame Florida or whoever was responsible because that was the societal pressure placed on individuals back then no matter what color they were

It was almost nearly the same way that Ray Charles.

At what point did the Beatles or an employee of the Beatles find out about the Segregation?

[moofishisaac]

John lennon was okay with it, Paul McCartney was not okay with the segregation

And where are they living today? Not in Brixton, not in East St. Louis where the "diversity" is strongest. It's easy to be a "tolerant" gliberal from the Dakota or a sheep farm in Scotland.
