And kept crying especially when the camera panned on Jesse Jackson. The courage and persistence of so many have created the road. I hope courage and persistence is awakened in the many more needed to widen the path, and open new ones. I was also angry at the defeat of Prop. 8 in CA.

May you be remembered always for what you did. There are no braver Americans than those who would stand up for those who don't enjoy the freedoms and liberties that we so often take for granted.

Your post on this website is very much in keeping with the person we encountered. It is an honor to have met you. In the wake of Obama's extraordinary electoral victory, renewing our democracy and our hopes, I want to thank you and all the freedom riders once again for the service you all performed. Your actions have helped usher in a better world. You put yourselves at risk, not only on behalf of the unjustly disenfranchised, but also on behalf of the indifferent and the hateful. The children and grandchildren of those who screamed at you inherit a better world (and a better spirit) today because of the courage of all civil rights workers. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your story for it needs to be heard. I went to canvass for Obama in Jackson, MS with a bunch of law students and the experience still resonates with me. But we truly wouldn't have this moment in history if not for your courageous actions at that fateful time.
