The Birmingham News has just released photos from the civil rights era in Alabama, unpublished until now.

(The site asks for zip code, year of birth, and gender (two options only) to see the photos.)

In ~1958 when I was a councillor at a summer camp, Andy Goodman, one of the three guys that was murdered in Mississippi, was the junior councillor for my cabin.

It must've been a shock to hear of his murder.

Looking at the photos, I realized that though there are things horribly wrong with many things in the US today, there has been some progress. Not as much as I would like, but some.
