I appreciate this snapshot in history. It's a reminder that the change does not happen from one event, from a single effort even when unified across divides. But from diligence and persistence with an eye never taken off the vision. I'm working on a novel set in '68 and even though it's set in the US, this all ties in to the story. One character, half American half French, was taken to be raised in Paris. As an adult, he has just come back to the US but still has strong ties to France. The novel begins in April, just after the MLK shooting so the Paris events in May would certainly affect him. Your article and the additional resources will be very useful. Thank you!
