And the fact that you described the Rosa park story. When I grew up, it was a story. When I got grown, I knew it was not a scheme, but a plan. I knew it was a plan.

Just like I loved La Law and all of that other stuff, all these cop shows and all these law shows. But, yeah, you don't want to put a witness on the stand that has a shady background because the opposing counsel is going to tear that witness apart, and that's going to make the case fall apart. It just happens to be what it is. And if you have a lady, she seems to already not follow the rule. She's not married

And the reason was because Negro was the term that was used to describe black people at that time. And the reason why it was only a week, it was the second week of February. And the reason is he chose that week is because it held the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln, which signed the so called emancipation proclamation. And I think his birthday was February twelveth and the birthday of Frederick Douglass, who didn't know his birthday because he was born a slave
