Stories and Poems

From a Newspaper in Mississippi

No one to tell his troubles to

So he tells it all to God.

Stigmatized and buffed about,

He's pressing through the storm.

South of the Mason-Dixon line

The Negro have no home.

There are thousands of honorable Negroes,

Some are living, some are dead.

Like the leaves that fade away

Not hardly a word is said.

So wake up Negroes go register and vote

And fight for your rights.

Aug. 14, 1964

Great Grandfather Was a Slave. Are You?
