story of the quest for civil rights - George Conway
George conway was a man who lived at st. Augustine, like the delaney sisiters did, but not at the same time. He lived there during the late 1940s and 50s. he participated in many civil rights movements and often put his life and whole fortune in jeopardy. He was even involved in a march where he was on crutches and the white klu klux klan members were throwing bricks at the marchers. He assisted in healing the wounded and kept on marching. George believe that "with God on your side, no one can harm you." So he never physically fought back the kkk members, just like Martin Luther King jr. Also, he believed that the oppressors are right where they belong, "six feet under. or more."
