Episode 215 Joseph Milteer and The Radical Right Wing of America The Civil Rights Movement Part 2 The Greensboro Sit In

JFK The Enduring Secret

Episode 215 is the fourth episode covering Joseph Milteer and the radical right wing of America. This episode is the second in a mini-series wander that gives an overview of the civil rights movement as we traverse through the 1950's and early 1960's. In part 1 (episode 214) we portray events up through 1959. In today's episode, we pick up the action in 1960, and we tell the story of the Greensboro sit in which occurred in February of that year. The sit in would resonate with the people as the quintessential non violent protest...spawning sit ins across the country and mostly in the south where segregated lunch counters were still so prevalent. This series begins to explore more broadly the impact of the civil rights movement and the clash of civilization that began to accelerate in the 1950's. The landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown versus the Board of Education had a major impact and was a major accelerator after 1954 of change in this country. This period was one of gestation so to speak related to the growing discontent on both sides of this epic struggle and it's an important time frame to understand a we set the plate for the civil rights show down that would come to a new and escalating boil during the Kennedy administration... and contribute to the events leading to the assassination of President Kennedy. An assassination that appears to have included the involvement of hard core right wing characters including in some way Joseph Milteer.
Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
