It was to be a simple picture of two children taking a nap, but ...

A photo taken during the traditional "post-lunch nap" at a school in Mississippi, US State marked by the struggle against racial segregation in the 60s, viralizou on social networks. And it's not hard to imagine why.

                        

According to the "ABC 7" network, the photo was taken at a Presbyterian school in the city of Clarksdale. Her friends - a white girl and other african-American - appear asleep holding hands.

On Facebook, the photo has more than 3,900 tanned and 2,500 shares. In the legend, the Presbyterian Day School page quotes a Bible verse: "Beloved, let us love one another, for love comes from God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God."

In the comments, several people praised the gesture. "We may be adults, but we are never too old to learn. This is how [the company] should be for all of us," wrote a follower. "These little angels have no idea how this great message of love of them is touching the world. These parents are doing the right job," said another.
