Charles Buell--I am a pre-Boomer, born in 1940. I rate a very minor footnote in the history of the '60s by spending the summer of 1965 in a moderately successful voter registration project of Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference. I served in Southside Virginia's Surry County, across the James River from Williamsburg. Very frankly, I did not want to go to Alabama, which had been one of the choices. A white volunteer, Viola Liuzzo had been murdered three months before during the Selma marches, and the black guy, Leroy Moton who was in the car with her and survived, was at our training sessions in Atlanta. The string of black Americans who had been killed, was well-known to us, from Emmet Till, killed ten years before, and Medgar Evers two years before. Fortunately, my time in Virginia was not violent, being trailed by whites a couple of times and getting dirty looks by local whites. My Point? The 1960's volunteers faced violence at home and in Vietnam, but were willing to take the plunge into those two very different issues. The Wokes should take notice.
