Civic rights leader C.T. Vivian, who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, sat next to my husband and I and told us story after story, like when he was in Cleveland with Muhammad Ali and comedian/activist Dick Gregory. He told us:

The best thing about the civil rights movement is that for the first time in 400 years, we could say no the white people in charge, because Martin Luther King Jr has a strategy!

It was this strategy, Dr Vivian says, that made it so their was no other route but to do the right thing and grant civil and human rights for Black people in America.
