Supposably the campaign was not as vicious

I really don't know, since my TV and radio diet has decreased so much over the years. As far as I am concerned, the last campaign ads I saw, good or bad, were made in the Clinton era, Bill not Hillary!

I just listened to the "I Have a Dream" speech on Great Speeches in History. I think I will reload it for Emily at some point before we go to the Inauguration. Of course, there isn't a Disney movie about the civil rights movement, so I don't think she will get it. :-/

This may be more difficult than I had thought. I'm not finding children's biographies of the civil rights leaders. I guess because it's just not true to the subject to airbrush or sum up the violent opposition to them in a way that won't frighten the children. I can find a ton of scientists, musicians, artists, and airplane pioneers, but all the civil rights leaders are in the Young Adult or Adult sections.
