Meridith March (A Day in 1968)
On the road to Batesville we followed our feet With dreams of freedom's promise strangers passing strangers as cultures redefine themselves shearing hate from its thoughts, we were like sheep between the gauntlets dumb to the taunts determined in the hope that children would wear the vestments. Each hate displayed in concret forms- bottles flung to message Never the 'N' word delivered in a strangled rage as if given at once by every ancester, the middle finger gestured by gentility: a minister, a policeman, a barber The Old South turned to new was happening all at once- In a flash, a little boy ran to a woman at the edge of her antebellum home to the site of her obscene defiance, his hands on his hips: "Just look at your se'ff, the flower of Southern Womanhood."
