Excerpt
PART ONE
CHAPTER 1
“THE BEGINNING”
This story ventures forth in the early
fifties in the Southern South. Where old super-stitions,
myths, and facts occurred and This
Happened To Be Fact. In the time when the
South was inhibited by three races of people.
The white’s, the negroes, and the negroes’
fears. In the time of hanging colored folks in
the backwoods and beating them because of the
color of their skin. Yet, we would triumph over
that but not over the terror that terrified us in
this small black community. Some people of
those days speculate that being black was our
affliction, they were mistaken. There was a
deep fear, that only attacked our kind. The
privilege of education, the birthright to vote,
the prerogative to go where we wanted to go,
and the right to drink or eat in any establish-ment
was the slightest of our worries.
