Two fountains still on the grounds of the State Capitol in Raleigh, NC. Side by side. Probably had signs on them at one time for Whites or Colored only.

My dog and I walk here every morning.

Saw the movie last week. Same reaction in the theater. Applause at the end of the film. Best thing Spike Lee has done in quite some time. Powerful film.

I bet we had very similar experiences. Heck, we had a governor in 1960/70s who rose to fame Hoyt Aug 2018 #6

Yes. Most of what you mentioned I experienced. But not the governor rising to fame. When I first got Lint Head Aug 2018 #7
