I count last Tuesday as one of the best days ever. I was so fortunate to join four other speakers from KIDS IN BIRMINGHAM 1963 as we talked with the Oakwood School 7th and 8th graders from North Hollywood CA. Oh my, what a wonderful and powerful meeting that was. My fellow speakers all experienced the Civil Rights Movement in 1963 in different ways. The students came all this way to travel to Montgomery, Birmingham, and then Mississippi and Little Rock, as part of a very special school diversity immersion project. I was so very impressed with the thoughtful questions these students asked and count meeting them as a very special day for me.
