Subject: RE: BS: Martin Luther King Day
In case anybody has forgoten, Republicans freed the slaves and sent the 101st Airborne Division into Little Rock to enforce integration in Little Rock while Bubba Democrats fought it.

On 24th September, 1957, President Dwight Eisenhower, went on television and told the American people: "At a time when we face grave situations abroad because of the hatred that communism bears towards a system of government based on human rights, it would be difficult to exaggerate the harm that is being done to the prestige and influence and indeed to the safety of our nation and the world. Our enemies are gloating over this incident and using it everywhere to misrepresent our whole nation." "
