Many years later, working at a software development firm in Northern Virginia, I told a young Hungarian programmer colleague of mine about our protest. He was deeply, deeply moved. He didn’t realize that people in the US knew about the 1956 uprising as it was happening, much less that some college students protested (and got themselves on local TV marching & holding signs). My colleague was a baby in 1956, but he says that, despite the danger, his father put him in a bicycle basket and biked around town, just so my colleague might later be able to say that he participated.
