I Say From Time To Time That The Vote Is Precious. It's Almost Sacred. It Is The Most Powerful Nonviolent Tool Or Instrument That We Have In A Democratic Society. And We Must Use It.

The Government, Both State And Federal, Has A Duty To Be Reasonable And Accommodating.

Maybe, Just Maybe, There Should Be A Graphic Novel Dealing With The Contribution Of The Women Of The Civil Rights Movement, To Tell Their Story. The Pain, The Hurt. They Raised Their Children. Some Were Working As Maids, But When They Left Those Kitchens, Those Homes, They Made It To The Mass Meetings. And They Put Their Bodies On The Lines, Also.

That's Where The Outrage Should Be, Not Old News, But The Fact That We Are Preparing For The Transfer Of Power. And We Have Been Working With President [barack] Obama, Hand In Glove, And I Think That They - Including The President - Should Step Up And Get His People In Line And Tell Them To Grow Up And Accept The Fact That They Lost The Election.

I Remember Being At The Church A Few Hours After The Church Was Bombed In Birmingham, The 16th Street Baptist Church. It Was Very Hard And Very Difficult To Stand On That Corner Across The Street From The Church. Or To Go Mississippi And Search For The Three Civil Rights Workers Who Came Up Missing. There Is A Lot Of Trauma.
