Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Freedom
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan

heavy 
from 
oak tree's -

Where
hound dogs 
roamed 
dirt roads
tracking
down
a race
of  people,....

Black people,

said
were free -

was 
"Segregated

Whites
on one side
and
Blacks
on the other -

Signs
posted
told us
where

sit 
and eat -

And
"For Colored
Only"
signs
pointed,

to 
restrooms
that we
could use -

Water 
fountains
were 
prohibited,
except
