Quiet Heroes

I have a friend from college who has chiseled his memory into my heart forever. Dr. J. Randall O'Brien, president of Carson Newman University in Jefferson City, Tennessee, writes a blog for the Huffington Post and the following is his accounting of an act of heroism that he witnessed during the Civil Rights struggle in McComb, MS in the early 1960's. This is his story of how he honored this hero of those times.

I want to thank Randall for his service to our country during the Viet Nam conflict and also for his self-less act in honoring Brenda Travis.
