In reply to Myth Dispulsion. Ms. Taylor, note I omitted the Women's Rights revolution earlier because I view the Civil Rights revolution as the broadest and most newsworthy, affecting all fundamentally. That doesn't deny the meaningfulness or results of the other.

She was, and will remain, an inspiration.

It's indeed a world of change, developments, and progress that she has seen, so many kinds, so many ways, as still is true with our surviving greater elders, including the Civil Rights revolution, when she lived her life of so many adventures. Rest in peace, Ma'am.

I’ve always worn a hat of some kind every day, such that many people I meet have wondered if I had lost my hair, which I have not… And always said that a hat is a superior fashion article for a man than a necktie.
