8. I was 17 when I told my Mom I was going to the "city" to protest the war in Vietnam.

She was very active in the Civil Rights Movement and had been for a long time so she raised me to be active. She looked at me, took in her breath and said "I'll drive you but you have to know there could be consequences". I told her I knew that I could go to jail or be hurt, but it needed to be done. She drove me to the college campus, gave me a kiss told me she loved me and dropped me off. I did get arrested that day along with others, but it was worth it. She came and bailed me out. My Dad was not amused, but Mom totally understood.

It is hard for parents like you who have raised your kids to be good people and to take action against things that are wrong to let them do what they must do. Thinking of you and your daughter during this difficult period. Thanks to both of you for your sacrifice and action.
