        I remember. I was 13. I lived in the white suburbs. I had never met a black person. But every night the news showed these stories. I went and saw To Kill A Mockingbird at the theatre. My heart and eyes were opened to the grave heartbreaking injustice that still exists today.

        Tell me it was taken today, and I'd easily believe you. Mothers are still losing their babies to violence.

        Little girls in their Sunday best dresses. Never allowed to grow beyond their young years. A community deprived of their promise.

        Titanic travesty that 300,000+ Federal troops died to preserve the Union and abolish slavery—and a century later miserable racist criminals were still causing such misery.

        Rhiannon Giddens singing "Birmingham Sunday" written by Richard Fařina. Not the best sound quality but great to watch her sing it (other version on youtube, by her & others, have better sound)https://youtu.be/2Coe9TpSZHc

        It was one of the saddest times in the history of Civil Rights. The year of 1963 experienced a number of horrific crimes and milestones in the nation. There were the assassinations of Medgar Evers, President John F.Kennedy, the March on Washington, the memory will linger forever.

        Just down the road - and, for me, you get a very strange feeling when you drive by & think about that time & all the lessons people hard to learn and how hard it's been to get through it - AND - lessons we still need to learn & how far we have to go

        The Dream speech was just a couple of weeks earlier. Except for the missile crisis and the time Dr King was on a Sunday morning TV show, this is my earliest memory about news coverage. I was 9. I also went to Sunday school. Everything seemed more frightening and urgent.
