Proposed art project warms up stale coffee
As a resident for more than 30 years, I write in reference to the article concerning future art projects downtown displaying coffee cups as a symbol for civil rights (March 17).
There is now a federal holiday celebrating the settlement of the movement as well as a museum that is being planned downtown where all pertinent facts will be exposed for the knowledge of future generations. The story is told in history books, and no one disputes equality for all. It seems there might be more transplants living here now than the original population who experienced the pain. If you ask present residents, they all seem happy living in this beautiful city. Greensboro Beautiful has done a commendable job.
There is no need for the expense of coffee cups being displayed anywhere. This would serve no purpose and only add an unnecessary expense to our tax bill.
The matter was settled. Why keep opening this topic?
Let’s all be happy and live by the Golden Rule, “Do to others as you would like them to do to you,” and remember we are all equal. No further discussion is needed. Amen.

I agree. Coffee cups as a symbol of civil rights is just stupid. Why not bus seats? How about water fountains? Swimming pools?

Would the coffee be black or with cream and sugar?

Some of the race pimps just cannot let go of the past and live in harmony with their neighbors. THAT is why they "keep opening this topic".
