So, it wasn't the fall....it was the sudden stop on the concrete.

That is correct, sir!

Segregation was confirmed by the US Supreme Court, so validated at the federal level (incorrectly in my opinion) with Plessy v. Ferguson. Thus civil rights was a national issue because states were violating the 14th Amendment as well as other amendments that protected the freedoms of all of our citizens originally under a flawed decision by the Supreme Court. Anytime the federal government tries to legislate values from beliefs about drugs to forced charity and everything in between, it has overstepped is boundaries. Most people look to the president to "fix" things, when that is not his job. His job is to enforce laws that are passed by Congress (the only branch of the federal government directly elected by the people). When that gets out of whack, the whole thing becomes a quagmire and mess.

Well, ... it is out of whack.:bigcry:

I think that's what I'm going to miss the most about Ruston (if I don't come back for grad).

I think they built Griffs in Ruston in late 1966 or early 1967. I remember it being built.

If one were to nominate that building to the National Register as the best remaining example of mid-century roadside architecture in Lincoln Parish, I anticipate Ruston would have a new historic landmark by the end of this year.

It was 1966. I was living in an apartment that fall semester (yes, before quarters), and I would have starved if it hadn't been built!

Wasn't it the spring of 1966. Seems like it was the second semester my freshman year. But since I had a seven day meal ticket and no car, didn't go there often.

Yep, prior to Griff's, the other food establishment choice, close to campus, was the Magic Grill. Everyone called it the "Tragic" or "The Greasy Spoon".
