Civil Rights Movement Updated

After I wrote something about Martin Luther King, Jr and the Civil Rights movement yesterday, I saw no fewer than three news items about how people 55 and under probably have no knowledge of who he was and what the movement was.

Yes, it was probably one or two pages of an American history textbook that few read in school. Given the paucity of knowledge of history among Americans, I can believe that.

Another reminder of my aging.
