he dropped the ball

sixtysix years ago on August 28 Emmitt Till was murdered

he failed to tell his daughters about the torture murder sure theyd learn it in school 

then it occurred to him

                         he didnt

he learned it because he was a paper boy delivering the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times for ten years throughout the Sixties to ‘73

he had a hard time discerning where he was better educated

                                                                  in a classroom or reading papers

he didnt learn of a pensee in school

he found it reading

Emmitt

Battered lynched boy

Murdered by muling racists

Touring Money Mississippi

Racism is white hatred
