Bill D., You actually made it out ALIVE!!!

In 1964, the life span of a civil rights marcher in MS. was VERY SHORT. Especially, if the marcher was a white northener. A Cofo worker was considered lower than chitlins. The summer of 64 was a terrible time for Blacks and Civil Rights workers in the south.

I lived in Indianola, MS during the Clay-Liston fight and I remember Clay shouting, "I'm pretty" after the fight.

Those days were hard, but a lot of positive changes began then.
