Silencing Houston's Jim Crow - Houston Student Movement

[MIKECNW]

It's interesting how YOU DON'T HEAR MUCH ABOUT TEXAS DURRING THE EARLY CR movement.

Everything seemed focused east of the Mississsippi River.

How come?

BTW, Sorry I hit the Caps button while typing.

@MIKECNW There were media blackouts in Houston.

I don't understand.

Wouldn't that have been the case all over the south?

Great video. I would love to do a sit in. Couldnt imagine the adrenaline rush and sense of pride I'd have sitting there and having people awe over me trying to make a difference.

@loblg88 I understand but I would not like hot soup poured over my head, hoses and mad dogs turned on me. I remember all that and the nation watched in shock. Those ppl were heroes in my mind. They had more courage than myself.
