MONTGOMERY, Alabama, July 26 -- Southern Poverty Law Center issued the following news:
Clifton Franklin was a high school football running back who - at 16 - wanted to play in a big game between Louisiana rivals. His mother, however, had other plans.
She brought him - begrudgingly - to Montgomery, Alabama, where Herbert Lee, her father and Franklin's grandfather, was being recognized as a martyr on what was then a brand-new Civil Rights Memorial.
