@SuperMouse I remember writing in my diary, “The war in Vietnam is over!!!!!....but nobody is cheering or saying anything about it.” With the fuss the protesters made, to just…ignore the fact that it was over?
There is a movie I’ve seen a couple of times. Good movie. True story. It’s about a black preacher in a black baptist church in a southern town in Georgia (I think). He’s really “radical,” really focused on equality for his people. He was just rockin’ the boat, creating “problems” in the community.
The church leaders finally fired him and said, “We’re bringing in new blood. A young man who can be molded to our way of thinking! A man who will continue to do things the way they’ve always been done, the way we want them done!”
The story ends with a shot of the back of the new young preacher shaking the elder’s hands and introducing himself. Last words of the movie were, “Hello. I’m Martin Luther King Jr.” I just rolled the first time I heard it!!
