Civil Rights tour

The following is a journal I kept while on a Civil Rights tour with my students last week. Some of it is in Pros but this was a initial thoughts while viewing some of the sights that altered what we know about this America

Day 1-
Walking the walk of the Doctor
Finding the origin of the issue
Rather the crux of the matter
The culmination of a march that
was birthed from a bloody Sunday
One day that leaked into another
A people turned back by violence
looked for help and turned up the mirrors
A fearer of a people was what they were expected to be
So on the second time over the bridge being
served by the court turned them back quickly
Yet the 3rd time was not a charm, but a catalyse
and more of an example of what happens when people dont give up
Don't ever give up.

It really is that Simple enough.
