It is 1961, and you've just heard about those people riding the bus through Alabama to test segregation laws. You heard that one bus was set on fire, and the riders on the other were beaten up, severely. You get wind of students and others going down to Alabama to continue the ride to New Orleans. You have the free time... So, my question is,
Would you get on that bus?

I don't know. My friend Rich, who teaches religion at Lakeland, was in college at the time. He had arranged with a friend to go down and participate. His dad caught wind of the plan and intervened, though. Rich is still mad about it.
