Civil Rights Leader Fred Shuttlesworth Dies.

‎10-05-2011 04:06 PM

He survived a 1956 bombing, an assault during a 1957 demonstration, chest injuries when Birmingham authorities turned fire hoses on demonstrators in 1963, and countless arrests.

"I went to jail 30 or 40 times, not for fighting or stealing or drugs," Shuttlesworth told grade school students in 1997. "I went to jail for a good thing, trying to make a difference."

What an impressive man. RIP Rev. Shuttlesworth.
