Had we been adults in the fifties and sixties, we would have fought in the Civil Rights Movement in Georgia. We would have joined SNCC in college and participated in the Albany Movement.
We would have ventured into the outlying areas to register voters or get them involved in the Great Society. Our lives would have been threatened as we attended mass meetings in area churches in search of converts. We would not have feared anybody or anything because the mission was too great.
I greatly admire what they accomplished during those days. Civil Rights workers ranging from national figures to everyday citizens changed the future for those like me who walk in their footsteps.
