Everyone has a story. Don't overlook anyone or think they have nothing to contribute or bold to say.
Ordinary Americans participated in the Civil Rights Movement. They were Sharecroppers, like Fannie Lou Hamer, or a retired soldier, such as Jimmie Lee Jackson, who was murdered protecting his mother and grandfather from racist state patrolmen.
I hate it when people don't see or go out of their way to avoid me because of my status in their eyes. They think they are better based on their assets. They should get to know the man behind the glasses or simple clothes.
I am delighted, however, when a beautiful woman or upscale guy speaks or says hello. It shows positive home training or someone who did not put themselves on a pedestal.
