Such eloquent and moving words from you BRDS~

Our "passion" will understandably be different from those who were there on the ground 50 years ago and participated and suffered. But then they suffered for us so that we would not have to - most notably, the physical abuse just to be able to vote. And we are eternally grateful, and we are making our own sacrifices to go the next step for our own progeny, who like ourselves, continue to be targeted for some ridiculous reason or other, and so we have our work cut out for us.
