I often wondered idly (not enuf to actually go and look it up) who Edmund Pettus was. The other day I found out: Confederate general and one of the original leaders of the Ku Klux Klan. Yeah, that bridge is long overdue for a relabelling, and I’ve got just the guy in mind to name it after.
BTW, folx a few decades younger than me, plus some nearer my own age who haven’t been paying attention, may have wondered what all the fuss was about a couple of days ago when it was announced that Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) had died of cancer. “Who was that guy? Why should I care?”
Those questions are amply answered by the just-released documentary film John Lewis: Good Trouble. It’s streaming on Google Play and will be the best 7 bux you spend all week.
