WE HAVE SO FEW HEROES. ONE DIED YESTERDAY. HER DARING ACT OF 50 YEARS AGO HELPED REDIRECT OUR LAND OF THE FREE, AMERICA.
SHE DECIDED NOT TO COMPLY WITH THE VULGAR, UGLY POLICY OF JIM CROW ANYMORE.
HER DEATH REMINDS US THAT THIS NATIONAL CANCER DID NOT OCCUR HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO BUT DURING THE LIFETIME OF ANYONE OVER FIFTY. RACISM WEARS FINER CLOTHES AND SPEAKS MORE SOFTLY NOW, BUT IT'S ENTRAILS STILL THROB.
