Cheryl, Another one of the may things that we must keep working on, I suppose. We are slow , and not always true, but, this is a race we must win together, - - - to remain as this great melting pot. B.V.A.

Perfectly true...and, as jim said, still clearly true in too many states, not just the rural south. Scarlett

Brilliant and heartbreaking Cheryl. A truly moving piece of quality poetry. 'For your children's sake you stay alive' seems to capture the tragedy of the way it was in Rosa Parks' day and the way it clearly still is in too many places and for too many people. Thanks, jim
