Yes, but did Charles Evers come from the left or the right? He ran prostitutes back then, remains unrepentant about that, so he won't bear much referencing to.

Alveda King did have a minor role as a youngster swept up in the events: 'During the years of the Civil Rights Movement, led by her Uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Alveda's family home was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama. During the heat of the struggle. "Daddy's house was bombed, then in Louisville, Kentucky his church office was bombed. I was also jailed during the open housing movement," she recalls.'

But again, she probably didn't join the Republican party back then.

Thanks for these two references though - I'd never heard of either before.

"It it talks like a duck...." I am interested in your specific response to these specific words of King because they would seem to contradict your "duck" theory. In fact, few freepers have ever so effectively criticized Communism.
