I have a great book by a print journalist, Curtis Wilkie, who covered a number of similar events and wrote about his experiences. The title is "Dixie",and it's a great record of those sad, crazy times if you haven't already read it. He's my age (72) so his accounts really ring true to my own memories of that era. There's also a good book about the civil rights struggle in Oxford, NC called "Blood Done Sign My Name" by Timothy Tyson. Ric, have you read that one? I wasn't a journalist and didn't really experience much of the civil rights action until the King assassination in 1968, when I lived in Memphis. I did go to the march that followed the assassination and took some photos, which I've posted here before. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
