Was this lady on the NY Times editorial board that excluded "W" from the march photo? Nothing like a self righteous racism and revisionist history. She's happy to march with the Democrat legacy.
A lieutenant of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. described what went through her mind when she noticed that former President George W. Bush was about to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, on Saturday along with President Barack Obama and many others to mark the 50th anniversary of 1965′s Bloody Sunday.
“I refused to march…when it was apparent that he was going to be part of it,” Diane Nash told TV One NewsOneNow regarding Bush.
“I think the Selma movement was about nonviolence and peace and democracy, and George Bush stands for just the opposite — for violence and war and stolen elections,” she added. “And George Bush’s administration had people tortured, so I thought that this was not an appropriate event for him.”
Noting that Bush’s “presence is an insult,” Nash said she “did not wish to be part of something that included him.”
Nash worked closely with King, taking part in nonviolent protests and helping to organize the 1963 March on Washington and promote the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
