Jerzey+interview+civil+rights

In 1963 in church I can remember about them talking about MLK’s civil rights movement down in Alabama. I can also remember them hanging black people in the south because they were fighting for equal rights. I lived in a small town in southern Iowa, and the only connection I had with any kind of colored people was this one family that was colored in a town of 4500. I thought everyone should have equal rights, I didn’t understand why they were separated because of their color. I think that it was not right. It was a poling. No their wasn’t. No I didn’t. No I did not. I never saw any discrimination and I was not around a lot of black people. I think that everyone's rights are a lot more equal than they were back then. Yes they have more rights. I think people have this entitlement attitude whether they be black or white. People need to take responsibilities for their own actions.
