“Upfront, pleasant and…absolutely fearless” was how John Lewis<span> described Selma-native Annie Lee Cooper. By the fall of 1963, the voting drive in Selma had “mushroomed into the testing ground for SNCC’s ‘One man – One vote’ campaign,” and Ms. Cooper was on the front lines of that fight, opening both her heart and home to SNCC and, later, </span>SCLC<span>.</span>
It was<span> a </span>treaty between Portugal and Spain in 1494 in which they agreed to divide up all the land in the Americas between the two of them, no matter who was already living there. (I know, really stupid!) They divided the New World by drawing a line in the Atlantic Ocean, <span>All lands east of that line were claimed by Portugal. All lands west of that line were claimed by Spain.

This is why m</span>ost Latin American nations are Spanish-speaking countries, for instance, but Portuguese is the leading official language<span> in Brazil, because Portugal took Brazil and Spain took most of the other nations. </span><span>
