I was only 10 when Kennedy was murdered, so my knowledge and memory of most of this is ltd. by youth. Thank you all for your take on things then and now. I appreciate it.

As to forgiveness, I would ask that you listen to a National Public Radio interview which aired last week:

Author and museum director James Cameron died last Sunday at the age of 92. In 1930, an organized mob of more than 10,000 white men and women dragged Cameron and two other black teenage men from a jail cell in Marion, Ind. The mob mercilessly beat the three young men and lynched two -- Cameron was spared. He recounted this experience in his 1984 memoir A Time of Terror and later founded the Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee, which he modeled after the Jewish Holocaust museum in Israel. This interview originally aired on March 8, 1994.

You may listen HERE. I was amazed at his ability to forgive after all he went through. Truly some lessons to be learned from such a gracious Spirit.

Thanks, again,
