Instead, he is unemployed, ready to rake leaves or paint houses to make ends meet. Although his two kids graduated from college, Richmond never did. As he talks, a young man there with his girlfriend looks up from the display. "Are you one of the guys here?" asks Bill Fox, pointing to the life-size photograph. "Wow." As they discuss the sit-ins, Richmond offers some advice about the color line. "You can choose," he says...
