Guest BeachBoy Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Does anyone here listen to This American Life? A short bit ago they had a really fascinating story about the Freedom Riders. And they were talking about how lots of people - including big wigs in the civil rights movement - thought the timing was wrong, or that they should maybe not do it for such a sustained time, and lots of other things. It reminded me of what a lot of people think about gay rights - and, sometimes, I'll admit, how I feel too. But after I heard what the Freedom Riders did, I got all jazzed all over again to just keep pushing it until it gets done. Quote
