The further away we get from the sixties and seventies, the more likely it becomes that people will forget what happened and what we were really about. When issues are taken out of their historical place and placed into another day and time, people tend to get confused. The government banks on that. Historically, it has worked for them. In this new day and time, in the shadow of 9/11, in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the greatest historical figures of the civil rights/Black power era was convicted and sent to prison for life without the possibility of parole.
