The two also diverged over what to do with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad — Cruz favored keeping him in power while Rubio said he would not shed a tear if “anti-American dictators” were forced from office.Las Vegas Sun

It wasn’t something that came together overnight. It took discipline and smart people.”Gray was one of the primary figures in that planning, and he served as Parks’ attorney after her arrest. The reality, Gray said, was that civil rights leaders, led by the local chapter of the NAACP, were looking for a place to make the most noise with a peaceful protest.Montgomery Advertiser
