No Disrespect
Thank you for sharing the story of such important moments in the history of the ongoing fight for Civil Rights in this country. I enjoyed this entire podcast with the exception of one comment. During your description of Lee Evan’s podium ceremony you stated, “then when the star spangled banner played he lowered his fist and removed his beret. He showed his anger but stopped short of disrespecting his country”. I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement and if true than you are saying that the protest by Tommie Smith and John Carlos and the protests inspired by Colin Kaepernick were disrespectful as well. Rather than being disrespectful I see these moments as the greatest form of respect as they seek to challenge the myth of our democracy in this country. The only disrespect in this situation was directed by the United States towards these courageous men. Pushkin keep telling these important stories! Sincerely James Lesniak
