What a victory this already is, if only for the attention today's protests have garnered. At least, suddenly, it's the top story everywhere today. Better late than never. I'm not usually real big on most "activism", feeling like much of it is just silly posturing... But when something REALLY matters, like this, I'm sure glad those marching are marching, and that the country as a whole is finally taking notice.

I hope this really shines the light on the fact that what you are saying is true. Racism is still a huge problem in parts of this country. Even more scary, they seem to be the areas that support this president and thump bibles in everyone's faces. Its sickening. Joey Good stuff, Spencer

She said that most of the locals in town are leaving for the day tomorrow. Personally, I wish I could be there. On a totally unrelated note -- happy birthday, Spencer!
