Thanks for starting this thread, Lily.

I was with the first group to march in Casper, WY; a State where we had to be "militant" in the sense Bobert posted by Dr. King, in order to get the day even recognised.

Casper lost one its native sons when he was murdered in the 60's, down South, while working for civil rights. Each year, we would have a special dinner in memory of him and Dr. King, as well as the march

Just recently a biracial girl in middle school, here in western Colorado, was told by some white students they were going to put a noose around her neck and hang her. Kids are still learning this kind of crap and we HAVE to "keep on, keeping on" until all chldren like her and my twin grandsons, and their families, etc. feel free AND safe!
