[QUOTE="donna723, post: 209679, member: 1883"] I remember those days too. I remember moving to the South in the late 50's and seeing the "WHITE ONLY" signs for the first time and the separate entrances, separate bathrooms and water fountains in public places! I have a black friend about my age who was raised in Memphis in the middle of the Civil Rights movement. She was in high school then and was recruited with many others to participate in the sit-ins and demonstrations. They had fire hoses turned on them, and police dogs! What a long way we have come! I thought it was very moving last night during his acceptance speech when they showed all those thousands and thousands of people in the crowd - young and old, black and white, many of them moved to tears. I think too, it's something we'll all remember. We saw history being made right in front of us! [/QUOTE]
