LOOKING BACK

-

1960: Ray Charles recorded “Georgia on My Mind” as part of his “The Genius Hits the Road” album in New York.

1965: the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. led 25,000 people to the Alabama state capitol in Montgomery after a five-day march from Selma to protest the denial of voting rights to Blacks. Later that day, civil rights activist Viola Liuzzo, a white Detroit homemaker, was shot and killed by Ku Klux Klansmen.
