Melodie- Thank you - it was one ...Eve - Thank you! <br />Melodie- Thank you - it was one I needed to write. <br />Leigh - wonderful stories!<br />R.T. Thanks.

He’d occasionally take us to a black church, which had a lot livelier music than our United Methodist hymnal. He’d drop us off on a street corner to play kickball in the Projects, what whites I suppose would call a ghetto. And in an ugly confrontation, he literally lost the farm defending rights of black friends. He didn’t see it as a choice and he passed that on to us. He led by example.<br /><br />My formidible brother met his wife, standing up for a lone woman against racists. Glen claims he politely offered to detach their body parts and rearrange them in more fitting ways. The men, knowing Glen’s fearsome reputation, abruptly decided their pitbull needed feedin’ and their truck needed shampooin’ and anyway they needed to get home to the wife.<br /><br />My niece is smart, beautiful, and popular. I don’t think her friends see her as black. And if anyone gave her a hard time, God help them.<br />Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-45156487946814438742020-06-14T11:34:23.548-04:002020-06-14T11:34:23.548-04:00This is a powerfully written and important post, M...This is a powerfully written and important post, Mary!
