If you want your phone number displayed on the web site, check Yes. Your phone number will only be displayed if you check "Yes."

Testimony
This is for what you want to say. What you did, what it meant, where you've gone and what you've done since, what thoughts you want to share about then and there, and here and now, and the future. (Note that you can add to, or change, your testimony at any time by sending in new information.)

Something in this field is required. You must say something about yourself or what you did or how you feel about it.

Please keep in mind the following points:

• This web site is for documenting what we did in the Freedom Movement, what it meant to us, and what we have done since. And it is also for rebuilding the beloved community that we all shared. Personal attacks on named individuals or carrying on old vendettas are not appropriate here.

• Please provide at least a couple of paragraphs describing the work you did, your experiences, and the meaning it held for you. In other words, something more than just listing the years, organizations, and locations where you worked.

• We will not edit your contribution for spelling errors, grammar, punctuation, and so forth. So please check it for mistakes.

• Keep in mind that what you say will be public to the entire world. It is possible that others might quote or use what you say in some article or book. If you want to keep control over what you write, put "Copyright [your name], [year]" at the end (you don't have to use the © symbol). For example, Copyright Jan Junebug, 2000. If you don't copyright your material, people who see it on the web will assume they can use it for whatever they want such as class projects, books and articles they are writing, courses they are teaching, and so on.

• If you would like one of us to help you prepare your testimony, please contact us by email at: webmaster@crmvet.org.

There are two ways you can enter your text:

• Type it in the box. You will need to to hit RETURN at the end of each paragraph. The box will scroll down so that you can enter as much as you need.

• Cut and paste from a word processor document. The box will scroll down so that you can paste as much as you need.

Depending on how busy we are, it may take a day or two for your material to be posted on the site.
