Following my mom around to segregated shopping. One food chain refused to segregate it's services, the A&P stores, my mom shopped there. Publix and especially Winn Dixie (hostilely so) were segregated. Imagine segregating people for grocery shopping and using toilets and water fountains, I witnessed that stuff so no one who tries to defend someone who did not forcefully fight that system relentlessly will convince me of anything.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
