She simply responded with this brilliant photo proving that even in a potato sack, she still looks impossibly amazing

So today is the another 31st of March , a year closer to my death ![]() Albert Einstein's posits the theory of relativity In 1946 Albert Einstein traveled to the Lincoln University in Pennsylvania to teach at the first school in America to grant college degrees to black students. While teaching at the university, Einstein gave a powerful speech in which he described racism as “a disease of white people.” He added, “I do not intend to be quiet about it.” As a member of the Jewish community in 1940s Europe, Einstein was familiar with the horrendous outcomes of racist attitudes.
