My kids found an old picture of me standing in front of the CORE Freedom House with the old gang... 1964 before the three civil rights workers will killed in Mississippi.... back when there were so few people in the movement Lewis said he ‘could recognize them all - and didn’t remember Bernie’...
And yeah everyone jumped on the bandwagon when the big battlers were won... but the people in the fray before that time were few and far between... I’m sure when it mattered Bill Clinton and his mentor - racist Bill Fulbright - were NOT active in the Civil Rights movement...
I know I did not see any of them around.
