Good Busy On A Saturday; Part 1 of 3: Our Chorus & The Sit In Museum.
Subtitle: We are only interested in actual history, not the misshapen machinations of malice addled minds.
Recently Marlon West,…
…the Director of our chorus,…
…arranged a trip to The International Civil Rights Center & Museum in Greensboro, NC. The very site of a pivotal 1960 lunch counter sit-in started by four NCA&T college students. Not only was the lunch counter desegregated by their efforts it also sparked a wave of sit-ins across the country. If you have a chance to visit, please do so. It is the physical embodiment of crucial elements of this nation’s history that many are working so hard to erase.
I could go on endlessly about that, so I will move on to the photos.
Understandably, photos during the tour are not allowed, so into my side pants pocket the camera went.
After the tour, we took a group photo and I took some pics outside of the museum.
Thoughts.
About cameras?
Not a thing.
The tour was a struggle. Being necessary does not make it easy. These are lessons everyone needs to learn and should not be ignored. As the saying goes (paraphrased), history ignored is history repeated.
And NONE of this should be repeated.
Happy capturing.
