“I am white, but Dr. Martin Luther King is near the top of my list in people I respect, and have learned from. I was eight years old when he was assasinated, and I still remember it. I have been delighted with these movies that have come along lately that explain what went on in the ten years or so before I was born, until I wass old enough to remember and respect these things first hand. u0026quot;Get on the Busu0026quot;, u0026quot;4 Little Girlsu0026quot;, u0026quot;Miss Evers Girlsu0026quot; all fill in parts of the struggle for civil rights in this country. Everybody, black, white, whatever, should know what this country went through in the 50u0026#39;s and u0026#39;60u0026#39;s. I am very aware that there are still 2 Americas and Iu0026#39;d like to see it become one in my lifetime.”
