Cover Story
A friend, actually the first of many, once asked me a question: "Why do we choose civil disobedience over the more acceptable forms of protest?" The question seemed incorrect.
In April, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was imprisoned for eight days as a result of his role in the Birmingham, Alabama civil rights campaign.
Our children, 7 and 9 years old then, were spending three weeks of their summer vacation with my parents in New York, attending a day camp there.

The trouble with our state
was not civil disobedience
which in any case was hesitant and rare.
