In the early stages of this book, we had the idea that it might be interesting and enlightening to hear from the children of the people profiled in the book. That hypothesis to be correct, but, alas, the page count didn't cooperate, so these wonderful chapters that appear below had to be trimmed from the book. Hail hail the infinite space of the World Wide Web!

Lost Youth

Unfortunately, the murder of Allison Krause and her three schoolmates at Kent State was not an isolated incident. Especially in the civil rights movement, where too many people intended to fight the Civil War all over again, killing as a weapon of terror was employed all too often. That more people didn't die at their hands was only a matter of luck. Andrew Goodman, James Chaney and Mickey Schwerner were three civil rights activists killed in Mississippi in 1964. Carolyn Goodman and Ben Chaney remember them not as symbols, but as young men and loved ones who were too soon gone.

Other Interviews

I did a number of other interviews about the 1960s that I had to leave out of the book, as I've indicated, mostly because a book can be only so big before people begin to sue you for the hernias they got from carrying around. I'm thrilled that I now have a place to put them to be enjoyed by others besides me. They deserve it. I'm also including a series of much shorter interviews I did for The Bill of Rights Journal fifteen years ago. Click on the names below to read the interviews. This list will continue to grow, so check back to see more.
