Greatest Candid Piece I Have Ever Heard

How thorough. While I was born in 70 and in Houston, I had very little indepth knowledge of Texas' role in the civil rights era. Many ridiculed Texas, especially the late notice of freedom (juneteeth). This sparked my interest to such a height that I am going back and read LBJ's numerous biographies and Florida and Alabama's turmoil ignited all the more interest. I will be at the bookstore and library tomorrow.
