Thanks, Adrienne. I've heard lots of interesting recollections from others since the story published. I was surprised no one I talked with remembered that bombed "apartment complex," which, after some further digging, I found was actually "a Negro motel," according to a 1964 Clarion-Ledger article.
Such an interesting, informative account of civil rights activities that I remember hearing little about during their occurrence. I was focused on college life and now realize how little attention I paid to politics. Your personal perspective growing up close to these events is especially touching as you look back on them as an adult.
This is a good piece full of memories.
