Dr. Martin Luther King

One of the regrets of my life is that I did not join in the great United States Civil Right struggle.  Of course, I was somewhat too young ( I was 16 in 1963 ).  I was raised in a racist home, but some how, some way, I have been a strong supporter of the civil rights of all individuals for all of my adult life.
