A good reminder, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the landmark case, that we are not far from our own embaressing history of opression. A deep, dark history that still nips at us from behind. Some fear not enough has been done, but it is changing. All one has to do is look at the children today, the biases that were there even 20 years ago are falling away and will do so with each successive generation. Legislative change comes with a vote, societal change takes generations. This isn't to say that the fight is over. Ignorance is not something that can be legistlated out of people. There will always be those that seek to put others down, that seek to place themselves high atop a pedastal and we might be mindful of such people. Sometimes they speak with compelling language, or come in forms that we would embrace, but vigilance, unity and a determined push for the truth will defeat the fools that seek to divide us.
"Never feat the fight, fear the consequences of losing."
