02/21/65 - Malcolm X assassinated.

They’ve always said that I’m anti-white. I’m for anybody who’s for freedom. I’m for anybody who’s for justice. I’m for anybody who’s for equality. I’m not for anybody who tells me to sit around and wait for mine.

Richie Havens. 1969.

Can you imagine going to prison for 10 years for a crime you didn’t commit?

This high school football star and NFL hopeful, who was wrongly jailed for rape, was finally exonerated after the woman who accused him admitted she lied.

[Brian Banks, 26,] spent more than five years in prison and another five on parole. He had to register as a sex offender and was still wearing an ankle monitor during yesterday’s hearing.

“If I can do this, I can get through anything,” he told The Daily just after leaving a Long Beach, Calif., courtroom. “This was my hardest part, and, as they say, good things go to people who hustle while they wait.”

Frances Wilson, 1961.

Frances, a 23 year old student at Tennessee State University, was expelled for her participation in the Freedom Rides along with 14 other students.  In 2008, the expelled students all received honorary doctorates from Tennessee State University.  Sadly, Frances did not live long enough to receive her degree.
