James Garner - The Garner Files (2)

James Garner is an outspoken Democrat. I did not know this before reading this book. No wonder I like him!

He was present at the famous March on Washington in 1963.

"The March on Washington was, as Dr. King called it, 'the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation,' and a resounding victory for the cause of civil rights in America, leading to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But it wasn't the end of the struggle: Two weeks later a bomb exploded in the basement of a church in Birmingham, killing four young girls. Three months later, President Kennedy assassinated in Dallas. Five years later, on April 4, 1968, Dr. King was struck down in Memphis."
