Interview with 83-year-old Robert Plummer, NC Hero who got arrested at recent Moral Monday

[Triana]

Video intro: Robert Plummer, of Carthage NC and a Korean War Vet who was one of the first African-American Navy UDT divers (AKA Frogmen, the precursors to the US Navy SEALs), talks about the importance of defending Voting Rights after being arrested with Rev. Barber and dozens of others at the 12th Moral Monday action in Raleigh, NC. Plumber, a veteran of the Civil Rights Movement who was arrested previously with Dr. Martin Luther King, spoke to us outside of the Wake County Jail immediately following his arrest on July 22, 2013.

He's the man in this picture, which seems to have gone viral lately. Because this poor old guy should not have to be fighting this stuff again - still. None of us should. He's a true hero. Bless him:

With his military experience, he's clearly a physical threat to Republican chickenhawks.
