I’m working on creating some balance and perspective that would be missing from the standard liberal rehash of “the civil rights movement, etc.”

These cases were legal cases fought in courts separate from the activities of MLK and the conflicts in Birmingham, Albany, GA, Selma, AL.

But they led to violence and conflict in their own right.

Politicians also played games in these conflicts, too.

That’s something I want to bring out.

I can say that Our state did not experience the violence that was had in those other states you mentioned, yes, standoffs, lots of demonstrations and I might add, lots of singing of ‘We shall overcome’. True, we did have some murders, a few at that, and lots of confrontations.

I can also say that there will be few who will respond to you on this, we all who lived it are glad to see it gone and it was a bad time in our history of this great state.
