Wow, what an INCREDIBLE find! So, that's where all these sinister ideas (muzzles & goggles) came from! Guess ear muffs come next. The entire world is in Gitmo now!

Comment on New Article: The Legacy of a Murder by Wilmer Terrell

I was eleven years old the night Sam O`Quinn was shot. Someone came by our house that night and told my family. In fact when someone died, this is what people did back then. The O`Quinn family was a very well known and liked family in the community. They owned lots of land, establishments and a funeral home. He also did some work on our home. It was a very sad and scary time when he got killed. Love to his family. I remember some family names that I heard as a child from the article.

I am the first grand child of Sam O'Quinn. My late Dorothy O'Quinn was the first born of six children. I was 5 years old when my grand father was taken from me. For years I was haunted by how he was killed as well as to why people can hate to the extent that his life just didn't matter. I am a radio/tv broadcaster and appreciate your telling my grand-father's story. Respectfully, Arlean J. Edwards, Creator/Host The Talking It Up Show

I need to add to my previous statement that my family moved away from Sumerall Ms. sometime in the Summer of 1965.

I lived in Sumerall, Lamar co. Ms. the day the nuclear testing was done. I was in the 6th grade. I don't remember that it happened but my mother does. My mother said there was a fence put around the site and no one was allowed passed it. We moved away in 1965. I saw a history show on TV about it a few days ago. It shocked me. I am now wonder if all the cancer in my family is related to it. Five of us have had cancer and / or so called radiation diseases. My father also died of colon cancer. Sumerall is directly north upwind from the site and the government was waiting for a day to test with the winds going from south to north. We drank milk everyday that was given to us by a church member that owned a dairy. I am also wondering if there could be fallout that went to the cows because 2 months later the government went back to the site to drill and it caused damage to things.

Comment on William J. Douthard (aka “Meatball”), Jan. 6, 1947 – Jan. 4, 1981 by Pamela Beardsley

William Douthard worked in the D.C. offices of the People's Coalition for Peace & Justice in 1971. He was the primary PCPJ contact person with the staff of its project, the MAYDAY "COLLECTIVE", the organizing committee headed by Rennie Davis of the largest civil disobedience event in U.S. history. As a member of the Mayday "Collective", I have many fond memories of William Douthard in the office and in the field. Seeing here that he was born in 1947, I'm surprised, as he seemed very mature and competent to me (born in 1948), yet his youth and friendly helpful nature no doubt made him the most suitable person to liaison with the Mayday staff. Aside from his support in the office, I have particular fond memories of his backstage command of the unprecedented concert Mayday held on the grounds of the Washington Monument! Although I learned long ago of his premature passing, I just happened to find this blog today.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for sharing your great story about your dad and his involvement in the civil rights movement. He was very brave! It has inspired me to investigate more of my own father's past.

What started me down this path that found your blog was an audio recording of Mr. Joey Adams paying tribute to my father. Mr. Adams mentioned that my father was part of the group flown in from New York. It was a surprise to me because my father never mentioned it .

Dear sir, does a complete list exist of the performers that travelled to and performed at the Birmingham Salute to Freedom '63? If so, would you share that resource with me? Thank you!
