power to the people
…and here we are, back to my regular stuff.
I have now attended a total of three protests in my entire life, and this was the most recent one.
A guy in a giant pickup drove by, as slowly as he could, while copious amounts of thick black exhaust covered us. And a vehicle (a pickup, if you really want to know) full of white guys was stopped at the light where they took advantage of the timing to shout racist things at us.
But it was worth it to make our views and concerns seen by people who maybe didn’t realize what was – and is – happening.

We called my mom Sugar, which was quite possibly the most appropriate name ever.
And the only thing that would have been would better would be to have had two of her. (Seen here keeping my cousins, my sister, and me in line for a photo. Apparently at least one of us had been identified as a potential runner.)

No one ever knew for sure what happened that year at the prom. Almost all of the photographs were mysteriously altered. The photographer, a surly woman named Wilma Thorne, left town before school started in the fall, denying all the while that she’d had anything to do with any of it.
