Ripples of Hope
Inside the Civil Rights Memorial Center, next to the Wall oTolerance, a quote rom Robert F. Kennedys 966 speech at CapeTown University in South Arica appears. It reads, in part:
Each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in thetotal of these acts will be written the history of this generation.
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot ofothers, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.
When you drop a rock in a pool o water, small waves ripple out
rom where the rock hit the water. Water also bubbles up throughthe Civil Rights Memorial to ripple out over the names o peoplewho took a stand during the Civil Right Movement. In a similarway, when you make a personal choice, the eect or consequenceso that choice can ripple out to many other people.
Think about a time when you took a stand to help someone else.Fill out the ripples on the acing page, to show how your choiceaected those around you.

Who Am I?
I was the youngest o children. My dad was a armer. We had 8acres o land.
I served as a military police ofcer in the U. S. Army, reaching therank o corporal.
My wie had just had a new baby, and I was granted emergencyleave to go home. I was excited about seeing them, but a littleanxious about the 95-mile bus ride.
I was asleep when the bus pulled into my hometown o Taylorsville,
Mississippi. Apparently, a Taylorsville police ofcer came on boardwhen we arrived. He woke me up by slapping my ace. The ofcerslapped me several more times beore he shot me.
Some say the police ofcer shot me because I was seated inthe wrong section o the bus. Others say I was mistaken or aFreedom Rider. The police ofcer later claimed I attacked him,and the grand jury believed him. The police ofcer was cleared oany wrongdoing.
More than , people attended my uneral. I was buried withull military honors, including a 6-gun salute.
