A segregated lunch counter in a Chattanooga, Tennessee, Elvis Presley waits for his bacon and eggs while a woman waits for her sandwich, she is not permitted to sit. 1956
In 1960, while serving in the Air Force in Italy my base cmdr. was a Tuskegee pilot who, in 1944 flew some of the most dangerous missions in the sky over Romanian oil fields. I could not have invited that hero to have coffee with me in my hometown of Miami. We could be jailed.
