Posted this the other day - came home from a trip to see my dad's folks in Talladega AL in 1978 to "Keep America Clean Kill The N" on our in the process of being built house garage wall.

I was five. And then there was the woman who said she wouldn't take a piece of candy after THAT child had"

Rochester NY - home of the North Star.

3rd Grade circa 81/82 my week wasn't complete unless C.B. called my mother a N Lover and I whooped his ass in retaliation. Again just outside of Rochester NY.

Ad as I told another DUer the other day - my father and his brothers escaped America - not the South.

Do you know where Malcolm X's father was murdered? Very interesting. We put the Civil Rights movement in the Southern landscape - but we do a disservice to he experiences of all black Americans if we leave the landscape of Malcolm's movement on the table.
