Description:During one of our long conversations, shortly after I met Mr. McBride, he told me, “I lived through a time in this America that so crushed the hopes of people that I felt suicidal and I know I was not alone.”That statement summed up for me how he chose his life’s work or how his life’s work chose him, as he often said.Born in 1909, not even a decade after the turn of the twentieth century, Mr. McBride witnessed the end of an era that should have represented the shameless shackling of human hope, but it did not. In the Mississippi Delta, he saw his father defy his second-class citizenship and his mother escape a hangman’s noose for speaking up for herself and her family. Mr. McBride was there at the beginning of modern times when animals gave way to automobiles, when homes were first electrified, and when mass communication began connecting the lives of dissimilar scattered individuals around nationally broadcast baseball games and radio mysteries. And he was here to see what the future would offer in the Twenty-first Century. And he did have his opinions on the matter.Perhaps it was in those days of his parents’ cozy shelter, huddled about the dining table studying with his mother that he learned to rebel against all those antiquated notions of what it meant to be an American, which Mr. McBride fully realized through his own dissatisfaction with the status quo. “You have to fight for what you believe in,” he said. “And you have to fight to make what you believe in, even though you may find yourself fighting alone.”His life reads like the history of his era as he walked through with an attitude toward change, using the American legal system of justice against itself to effect changes from within rather than to perpetuate violence in an attempt to retaliate against violence. This was his way, although he never backed down from a fight worth fighting. I will always remember Mr. McBride.Sunny NashWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
