The small photo below shows Civil Rights Marchers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965.
Six decades later, we fighting for the same rights. And six decades later, it is “We, the people,” who are leading the way—as political leaders observe from a safe distance, urging silence and restraint. Thank God that John Lewis did not listen to the doubters and doomsayers six decades ago.
Thanks to all readers for contributing to the ongoing fight for justice, equality, and tolerance. Bless those who came before us and sacrificed their lives and livelihoods to bring us safely to this point. We owe them a debt of gratitude that can be repaid only by keeping democracy alive for the next generation.
Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.

Trying to follow John Lewis’ lead. Today, I went again to a rally at the Tesla showroom in Walnut Creek. Last week, the crowd was sparse but today, at least 200 people showed up! It was a great one hour event where we displayed our signs, spoke with one another, and marched in front of the Apple Store too on Main Street. Many people honked their horns but seeing even those in Teslas giving a thumbs up, was the icing on the cake! Forbes reported 2 days ago that Musk is officially $122 billion poorer! I hope this keeps up!
