You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,

REMARKABLE!

It was the spring of 1963. These leaders were planning the now famous March on Washington. The voting rights bill was being debated before Congress. The same with a food stamps bill for poor people. Participating in this live prime time television dialogue were James Farmer, James Forman, Whitney Young, Martin Luther King and Roy Wilkins. All powerful civil rights leaders representing the NAACP, the National Urban League, the Congress On Racial Equality (CORE), the SCCC, and the SCLC. Issues discussed include Lyndon Johnson and the southern Dixiecrats, the voting rights bill, the bus boycotts, the lunch counter sit ins, the effort to register voters in Mississippi, and more

“I’m happy, tonight.

I’m not worried about anything.

15 January 1997

 

 

The last day of my Mother’s life – she gave me that night:

profound offerings of glory, unconditional love, anointment of naming WHO I am.

She was dead the next morning.

I found her – warm and blue eyes open in her bed with her dogs sleeping at the end of the bed.
