It's very telling to me that those who actually experienced the era, on either side of the color line, don't seem to be as offended as those who weren't even born during that time. What does that say about what we choose to believe about our history?[/QUOTE]

If we don't tell the truth, what are we left with? It was a very rough time, and those who can tell it should tell it, with no fuzzy soft bumpers to act as shock absorbers for what we don't want to hear.
