both sides should always be heard. Especially, if it's civil.

Did you see the "Brother Outsider"? Good doc I thought.

Personally, I think that history hasn't forgotten him so much as he's not remembered as well as Dr. King is, which can be vigorously argued that he had a lot to do with getting King's name out there.

And the whole doing Rosa Park before she did it.

Just amazing stuff worth knowing,
