April has many sides. It is a month when Spring starts getting its momentum. It is a month of school holidays and family vacations. It is a month of renewal. It is a month of tax deadlines. It is a month of cherry blossoms, buds on trees, and the sweet scent of honeysuckle. It is a month of weddings and anniversaries. It is also a month of remembrance.
The month of April has witnessed the deaths or assassinations of many important people, particularly people who were instrumental in the field of civil rights. Some people are very well known for their work and contributions in the field of civil rights. Others were active, courageous, and committed but are unfamiliar and unknown. They are the unsung heroes in the civil rights movement. And they should not be forgotten in history.
