   September 5th 1939-January 13th 2026.   
   I note that the Wikipedes' death list cites a BBC article as source   
   (unfortunately the BBC is trying to make people subscribe to read their   
   stories).   
      
   Colvin's being an unmarried pregnant teenager made her a less   
   attractive "poster child" for the civil rights advocates,though   
   I have read that Rosa Parks (before her own arrest) was on a   
   committee raising money for Colvin's defense.   
      
   Of course before either of them was Irene Morgan(1917-2007)   
   and her interstate bus case.

   The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,   
   at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
