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, katlaughing |

The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never hasand it never will." Frederick Douglas 1857 |
