And this is many months ago we were kind of thinking about what do we want to do. There are so many books that come out on if Civil Rights Movement every year.

So in order to keep one the struggle in our home state in alabama my mother made my dad buy a tv and every day watch Walter Cronkite report what was going on in the south.
