All Sorts Of People Fought For Civil Rights... Many Died For It...

Farmer told me the story of his work, including being the subject of a house-to-house search by Louisiana law enforcement for his organizing activities there. He also told me about how CORE recruited idealistic young people of every ethnicity and background to fight racism across America, including James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, who were kidnapped and murdered by the Ku Klux Klan near Philadelphia, Mississippi during the Freedom Summer activities of 1964.

Work because it was back in the 60's. I think that is the ultimate disrespect you could do. It's not like he joined the KKK or something. All he did was move to Vermont and I have yet to find a valid argument as to why that's a bad thing. You can cape for Hillary all you want but to discard Bernie's work especially if you're black is shameful. And for the record I am black.
