re: #725 palomino
But didn’t it “make the news” for a reason?
Yeah, so bigots in other parts of the country could use “the south” as a cover for their own segregationist behavior.
It also made the news because that was part of Civil Rights strategy to make it do so, all around the world. Especially at a time when we were supposedly fighting for the individual freedoms of Koreans and Vietnamese.
None of this stuff just happened out of the blue.
