Mamie Chalmers on Protesting as Part of the Children’s Crusade in Birmingham, AL
Mamie Chalmers of Detroit was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. When Dr. King came to speak at the 16th Street Baptist Church to talk about injustices in the city, Mamie and her family were in attendance and decided to join the Children’s Crusade. Mamie was 22 at the time, and along with other protestors, was blasted with a fire hose. That moment was captured by photographer Charles Moore of the Black Star photo service. Published by LIFE magazine, it is one of the most famous images of the Civil Rights Era. The incident left Mamie deaf in one ear. She hopes that the young people of today know and understand what she and countless others were protesting for.”If we can get the younge...

    I grew up in Memphis knowing Rev Kyles very well, was best friends with his son Devin Jr. Rev Kyles was a very kind man, soft spoken, good heart, a civil rights leader in Memphis, great dad, very kind and spiritual, very highly respected all of his adult life, always giving and loving, I don’t believe for a second that he had a thing to do with the assassination of Dr King. His love for the black community and our black leaders, even when he spoke to us as teens about the movement, was intense and from the his heart. Conspiracy theories always run ferociously in situations like this, its sad.

    This man was AMAZING. I visited St. Augustine after seeing a documentary called DARE NOT WALK ALONE, and I was determined to learn more about what happened in that City. I wound up visiting the ACCORD Museum and was able to speak to the women running that museum right in Dr. Hayling's former dental office. I learned so much going there, and I'm in awe of how brave Dr. Hayling was to keep fighting and organizing the young people there as they stood up for their rights. St, Augustine and the events that happened there was CRITICAL to getting the Civil Rights Bill was passed when it was. What's really strange to me is how EVEN TO THIS DAY, the leaders and Visitor's Bureau in St. Augustine STILL don't want to discuss what happened there with the Civil Rights movement. They're hoping everyone will forget I guess. I persisted, and I personally took the "Freedom Trail" in Lincolnville, visited the Hilton Hotel where a major battle happened in the swimming pool of all places, and the former Woolworth Lunch Counter now on display in a bank near the Town Square. St. Augustine needs to be on a 'Civil Rights Trail' Tour of some kind so that people can learn more about U.S. history and courageous people like Dr. Hayling. You will literally walk in the footsteps of Andrew Young and Martin Luther King when you go there. Get off that Trolley Tour and learn the whole truth about St. Augustine...it's unbelievable.

    I had a friend like that. The weirdest thing was the mom was white and the husband was black. I won’t go into the story because it’s pretty much the same. But I will say this, I didn’t realize the mom was racist until I was much older. They moved out of our neighborhood the later part of the year, this incident happened in the spring. I never made the racist connection until later. I remember being 12 & 13, we didn’t know about racism. We went to stores and such with our parents and half our classmates were white. Like I said I didn’t learn about how cruel people were until I started going to high school. We knew how to deal with them because we were natural born fighters. And look at the world we live in now😪
