Over a half century ago Civil Rights leader Esau Jenkins (pictured above) organized a bus system for the people of the Sea Islands so they could reach education and employment opportunities denied them by segregationist laws and put a fleet of VW buses like the one pictured above on the road. Today the back window hatch of one of those buses hangs in the Smithsonian's African American History museum. it's a mighty heritage and an example of how the people of our sea islands don't wait for change, the make it. On Monday, they'll start an effort which will go into high gear next year. Join us and Together, We'll go forward.
