I traveled to the Georgia State Capital February 22, 2011; in support of
the Quitman Ten. These brave, courageous freedom fightes stood and are
standing strong on behalf of Georgia Voter’s right to vote. This is a
short preview of what will be posted here as a reflection of what took
place at this meeting and historical event. As a concerned citizens
from the South Georgia, I commend the Georgia citizens that stood in
support of the Quitman Ten as they received rewards for their courage
and perhaps being forced to bring South Georgia into the 21st Century
along with other cities.
In the video you’ll notice the events of the day are not getting
captured by film crews and news reporters. They’re being documented
by people with their mobile phones. Take another look at the video and
count the number of illuminated mobile phone screens you see being
raised overhead to capture pictures and video as the scenes in the
streets unfolds.
It doesn’t take a fancy camera to record events as they happen.
Most any old cell phone will do.
When, at first, we went to print the comic book, a security officer
blocked publication. So we called him and demanded a meeting. He agreed,
and we read through the comic book over coffee to address his concerns. At
the end, he granted permission to print and then asked: “Could I have
a few extra copies for my kids?”
