the unfortunate of alabama also had a very clean period.here was three weeks between the end of the regular school and the beginning of the regular school and you could did all kind of creative things. i taught a course on the civil rights movement. i went to selma to montgomery to atlanta. in atlanta, we met king's father, dr. abernathy, jose williams yes >> did you ever think you would come back to the bay area? >> yes.
