they were not fans of medgar evers. i gather bring it in, fight. in fact, civil rights was kind of out of bounds. now, my own memory, living in the deep in georgia, in the in the early sixties and late sixties. i remember when martin king was shot and my who was a moderate republican, also said he had it coming to him. oh, he was asking for it. that's what he said. he was as a term of art. so that era there a small space. your family were not progressive. i'm getting at they were somewhere in a neutral that was they were not out of danger. yeah. they were not activist i think is what we're getting it. but they regarded overt expressions of racism in, language and behavior as a sign of ignorance. and they were new southerners, the sense that they had come to town from country. they had become prosperous enough to have a beach house, to drive cadillacs. and they did not want to be identified with the with the ignorance of frank of wallace, alabama was on the rise at that time. my parents, in the days when being nominated as a democrat for the governo
