The weekend that followed the inauguration of President Donald Trump was nothing short of eventful for African-American waitress Rosalynd Harris, who actively and proudly took part in the Women’s March on Washington that followed the historic event.

So when three white men wearing “Make America Great Again” hats were seated at her table for dinner that evening, she could have never expected the treatment she’d receive.
After all, the men were at Busboys & Poets, a D.C. restaurant that promotes social justice. Their walls are covered in African-American art and images, and here sit three white boys with Trump hats on.

The 25-year-old waitress knew as well as the men did that they stuck out like sore thumbs, but she greeted them with a bright smile, and welcomed them like any guest. They joyfully greeted her back, and told her they were in town from West Texas.
In the back of her mind, Harris assumed that the men were Trump supporters in town for the inauguration. But she shrugged it off and treated them like any other customer.
