In an open letter to the women I heard discussing the movie Selma as I walked down the street,

“I wanted to follow the two of you to the end of your conversation. To the one of you who said that you hadn’t known what Selma was at all before, I am so curious about you. I want to know where you are from and learn about the things that you know that I don’t know about at all. To the other one, I wish I had heard the rest of your statement, ‘I heard about Selma at ….; there were a lot of Jewish activists there.’  Where, where did you learn about Selma? Ladies, you left me with so many questions.
