We studied the Civil Rights Movement in history class. It was brutal and so many died - I also watched "Eyes on the Prize" which shocked me to my core. I grew up in a fairly diverse community and had Black classmates and teachers. I agree that this needs to be stopped, this country fought a devastating war over this 165 years ago and we need to embrace the lessons learned then and from the Civil Rights Movement so this never happens again.
