Thank you for sharing this. A good lunch time read about the strategy of the civil rights movement. Unfortunately, we as Americans thought "Well, we've passed these two fine Acts (Civil Rights, Voting) - the work is done." But the opposition - Jim Crow, if you will - never gave up. They went underground and have continued to work at re-taking power- which they've now done with a 50 year campaign. Until 90% of Americans believe in equality before the law and there is some consensus on "truth", this is a battle which must continue to be fought.
