To: stand watie
i ask you again, were you THERE on that GRAND day

I was seven at the time, so no.

i WAS! and so was the CSA flag AND the HUGE UNION BANNER.

I'll take your word for the first (although given your track record, I don't know why). As for the latter two, barring some evidence to the contrary, I'll take what the photos show over what you say.

So, do you have any explanation for why the "I AM A MAN" placard that was the slogan of the Memphis strike is in the background of the photos I've presented?

i suspect but do NOT know that the pictures are from the garbagemen's STRIKE, rather than from the MARCH, which followed the STRIKE.

there WERE lots of "I AM A MAN" signs at BOTH the picket-line AND at the MARCH.
