114. The front line is scary and dangerous.
"My criticism of the NAACP is that they seem to not want to use the tactics of the 60's- the marches, the speeches, the confrontation,"

Many died at the hands of law enforcement as well as others during the '60s confrontations. There were assassinations, beatings, and much blood was shed. Many people who challenged the power structure lost their livelihood if their lives were spared.

Maybe the NAACP will stand shoulder to shoulder with the other races if the other races decide on a March to Washington to end racism. The poison of racism is harmful to everyone, not just blacks and browns.
