I lived in a segregated world and as a youngster watched the Civil Rights Movement take its place. I remember Little Rock, I remember that an axe handel got a drug store owner a Governorship.
Do you want to know what I think really ended the era of segregation in the US? No one will agree, but I think it was the bullet in George Wallace's spine that was the very end of it as an institution.
