Pursuing Justice, seeking help

It's a pretty old story.  The fact that I was surprised by it speaks only to my naivete, much as I realized that only a white person could be shocked that votes were not being counted in Florida in 2000.  Remember watching the Black Congressional Caucus plead for support from the Senate for justice?  Remember how you felt when there was none?  And remember how you watched the consequences of that particular travesty unfold?  Were you angry and did you fight on?  Did you despair, and give up?  That is the choice I'm facing now.
