    Indeed. Of all the important figures from the Civil Rights movement, they are my ultimate Heroes. I'm looking forward to the PBS, series. The accounts I read about them, in 'Parting the Waters' are riveting.

    Trust me, I know. I know many a person who sat-in, was arrested, and started organizations...to advance Civil Rights. They have shared their stories & I have listened in utter awe.

    I am answered the question posed honestly. I don't do ungrateful & unmotivated.

    It was a good show, Congressman John Lewis told a story of being beaten. The man that did the beating was also there. He asked for forgiveness and was remorseful for what he did.
