I lived through this, I guess, but at 9 years old, I didn't hear about it until now. Not having ever lived in the South, I can't relate to the blatant race discrimination that was commonplace then.

I did witness some of it as a young Navy man about 10 years later but I still can't imagine how this ever was condoned.

God bless brave people such as Claudette Colvin, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. May our nation live to see the world envisioned by these people and rational people of all races. Thank you Tara.
