In August 2008, Rep. Artur Davis speaks of his mother's generation, Joe Reed's generation, and why it is understandably difficult for that generation -- who grew up unable to sit at the front of the bus, unable to use the same bathroom as white people, subject to literacy tests and poll taxes -- why it is difficult for people who were subjected to those circumstances to believe it is possible to elect a black president or a black governor. And he tells a story of civil rights attorney Fred Gray's experience with a literacy test.
