If you can only trace your family back a couple of generations to a slave that was sold at auction, if your Aunt tells you stories of being refused common decencies like where she could drink water or order a hamburger, if you are pretty sure that you have white relatives as a result of slave times but none of them ever invite you to family reunions.....
You might just feel that the Civil Rights Movement isn't over yet. The conditions that led up to that movement remain very much in people's minds because it is family history to them.
To many white people though, their movement should have been over when we gave them the vote and integrated the schools. That's just not the way it is.
