Suppose after that election, I decided, well what's the point of voting anyways. This is Mississippi. It won't make a difference! A lot of people took that mentality. Not me. That doesn't deter me. I was naturally disappointed, but I was just ready for the next election! I know what you mean about complacent family and friends. I have an older uncle who laughs at what "that white school" has done to me. He refuses to vote. He actually thinks that at the polls they take pictures of individuals who vote and who they vote for to terrorize them...sounds paranoid, huh, well this same uncle was nearly beat to death in his own yard by white police officers in the '60s.
06? Huh? I'll bet I know your sister! My cousin was initiated in Iota Kappa in '98, I think!
I don't want to give too much of my identity away. But my school's initials are very similar to those of your sister's.  |
I have an uncle the same way. He was jailed for protesting in Jackson.
and you probably do. Considering how small MS is, everybody is connected in someway!
