Nate, use your imagination.  If Dr King breathe the wrong way, looked the wrong way or walked the wrong way all sorts of hell would break loose.  Those folks were always under scrutiny. They opened the way to the vote for heavens sake!  The marches, sit-ins, demonstrations were illegal aka civil disobedience. They went to jail!  My friend, what the young girl did was probably healthy for her, and I smile with her about it.
