Subject: RE: BS: Today's quote for Black History month
Amen to that, Marymac and thank you for noting this important month.

NPR had a fantastic piece on, yesterday, about a American of African descent man in Boston who was assaulted in 1976 with a flagpole, flag dragging from it, by some youths. The piece was mostly about him and the photographer who captured the moment and won a Pulitzer. The series is called:

The Unsung of Civil Rights -- In part one of a Black History Month series titled "The Unsung of Civil Rights" NPR's Phillip Martin features Ted Landsmark of Boston. You can listen to it here at http://search.npr.org/cf/cmn/cmnpd01fm.cfm?PrgDate=2%2F1%2F2000&PrgID=3

Thanks, again, Marymac,
