It was okay when I stepped away to listen and watch

So who destroyed the thread? A truly historic moment can't be discussed without someone ruining it? Congratulations. Hope you're satisfied. The two presidents sat side by side at this event with John Lewis. They were able to realize and understand the significance of this day. Too bad others can't. And yes, I know this too will disappear.

I stepped away too.

I can't imagine what happened.

I hope we can all be civil...

I was there and saw it sabotaged ... two names (actually three) are etched in my mind ...

Sorry, RCG, et al. It's too bad some people have to be so ugly. It must be horrible being them.

I don't even really want to know who did it.

I cried too, but it was more out of pride for what was accomplished through sacrifice. courage, and struggle.

It was very emotional for me, too. What a beautiful ceremony and remembrance. Speech was excellent. I loved watching the aftermath, smiles, hugs, etc. and the music following the speech. (cspan) Such a bittersweet moment in our history.

SoX, yes, absolutely watching.

Yeah and there was another speech earlier this week that got poofed too because some people don't like to hear the truth.

I'm certain I wouldn't be surprised.

I came now to post a photo at the bridge, but I don't want them to come back.

I was at a Woolworth's counter sit in not long after.
