neda…

Posted on Monday 22 June 2009

No, I’m not going to post the video of the death of Neda, the 26 year old Iranian girl shot as she watched the protesters in the streets of Tehran. But it reminds me of the personal impact of the deaths of the four girls in the bombing of the 16th Street church in Birmingham, and the death of David, a childhood friend, in the early days of the Viet Nam War [both in 1963]. Her absurd death puts a personal face on the upheaval in Iran that will never be forgotten. I’ve never forgotten those deaths 46 years ago…
