Civil Rights Danville VA 1963 lest we forget
Veterans of the Civil Rights Movement -- Letters From the Field ~ Louis Nasper: "Some forty-eight people were hospitalized for injuries that night. Some had broken noses, open head wounds, broken limbs, and lacerated breasts. Prior to the march all demonstrators had turned in all pencils, nail files, and anything resembling a weapon, and they had committed themselves to nonviolence." There are hundreds of largely forgotten stories like this at the Civil Rights Movement Veterans site. The Web was created to enliven our memory and prepare us for global nonviolent democratic revolution beyond the war on drugs and the hegemony of big oil.
