It's interesting that those who pay...lip service to the idea of the disadvantaged lifting themselves up by their own bootstraps and turning their lives around are the same people who are the first lobbing cruel rhetorical grenades at those who have worked hard, defied the odds, and reached the zenith of their professions.

Did you see the movie “Selma” over the Christmas holidays?  The National Archives at Atlanta holds the federal court case filed in the U.S. District Court in Montgomery that deals with these events, check out our online exhibit at http://www.archives.gov/atlanta/exhibits/item400-exh.html

You can see selected documents including pages from the complaint, some pages of John Lewis’s testimony, and newspaper clippings from “The Birmingham News.”

These documents come from civil case #2181-N, Hosea Williams, John Lewis, and Amelia Boynton v. Honorable George C. Wallace, Governor of the State of Alabama, Al Lingo, Director of Public Safety for the State of Alabama, and James G. Clark, Sheriff of Dallas County, Alabama.

I didn't believe I was technically the best person to do it, but I believed that I cared and I would work day and night. My sweat equity had to mean something...I was going to try, and I would do my best, and I knew why I was doing it, and I think when you know that inside yourself, you know that your intentions are clear and clean, then you have a very direct purpose to pull you through all those other things when you aren't so sure.

...imagine a world where no one is in charge and no one necessarily knows what’s going on, where identities are in perpetual flux. Mothers and fathers act like teenagers; little children are wise beyond their years. Girls light out for the territory and boys cloister themselves in secret gardens. We have more stories, pictures and arguments than we know what to do with, and each one of them presses on our attention with a claim of uniqueness, a demand to be recognized as special. The world is our playground, without a dad or a mom in sight.
