thank you so much everyone.

my understanding of american history is basically nil but this kind of oppression is similar to the treatment scotland suffered in the highland clearance.

Excellent

Your in excellent form! Docu-ballad perfection! You have a unique way of presentation that informs, saddens, and fulfills the heart and soul. History is! If you don’t like it, don’t repeat it! Easier said than done, for all the historical reasons. The second part encore worthy sir!

I am sad to say I had forgotten about poor Emmett Till.  A very sad chapter in U.S. history and so sad that we have not progressed nearly as far as we should have since then.  Good music and remembrance, Merle.

Thank you!
 
Still so important "...to remind your fellow man that this kind of thing still lives today..."  and that "if all of us folks that thinks alike, if we gave all we could give..."
