In Memoriam: Fred Shuttlesworth, Civil Rights Pioneer

The Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, a pioneer of the civil rights movement, died Wednesday in Birmingham, Ala. Shuttlesworth led Birmingham’s battle against segregation — a battle that focused the national spotlight on the violent resistance to equal rights in the South and forced change. He was 89.

Worth listening to:  please click the above-linked NPR clip discussing the life and influence of Rev. Shuttlesworth.  It is POWERFUL stuff.  The courage and conviction of this man is nothing short of amazing and inspiring.

It is my hope for Michele Bachmann that it is NOT one of her daughters (3 natural; 23 foster) who is found dead in a pool of her own blood with a coathanger sticking out of her vagina.
