There was little room for error. But they got a reputation for their courage. It was hard to settle down around those times. Sons and daughters of some Southern Sharecroppers decided it was time to break ground....test their fathers theory, you reap what you sow. They planted their feet on higher ground and stumbled upon a loop-hole. There it was in plain sight, concise and somewhat polite. “All Men Are Created Equalâ€. It made sense, yet for them there was no evidence. So they just ran with it, they ran so fast.. their wings scorched the ground.

mlowe5 says: Beautiful write. Took me back to my days with SNCC in Forest City, Arkansas. There are and have been so many unsung heroes known only to their families and those who were blessed to work with and learn from. Indeed..."their wings scorched the ground..." and they have left prints of memory to follow. Thanks for sharing this piece, SYQ222. Such a blessing to hear from you again. Peace and Love, mlowe5. |
