I like your treatment of this very much. Glad you did your research and used her name to make the poem come to character. Like the rhyming too. Congratulations...Janis

Thanks, this is a famous painting of desegregation, thanks to President johnston! Bridge who is 66 today lectures around the globe on the subject. She is here escorted by 4 marshals. you see kkk and nigger written on the wall and a tomato that was hurled at her! Just like Trump’s America!!
