Re: March With Me (1:50pm April 8, 2013):

As a resident of Alabama and a teenager during the 60's I
can remember a lot of that time. I saw black people being
stuck with cattle prods on our courthouse yard. I was
working in a small soda fountain in a drugstore when people
came in, lay down and cover the floor. I remember separate
public bathrooms for blacks and whites. I saw Paul Newman
visit to help the people being mistreated. I graduated from
high school the last year before intergration and there were
no blacks in the nursing school I attended. When I was a
student at this Catholic hospital all the black patients
were in a basement ward. It was a long time before I had the
chance to really get to know and have black friends.
