It was published as a whole years ago, but I don't think anyone read it. I'll join all the pieces together. But a Chapbook? Maybe not a bad idea? Maybe something I can offer PAID subscribers?
I love this story and look forward to each new chapter. I also write on the rollercoaster of black/white and am disappointed that so many readers deny my right to go there. Jim Crow, under whose dire wings I lived, affected everybody in its path, and it cut quite a swath. And today is still very much alive in its transmuted form. Bravo.
I was a child before the Civil Rights protests. My childhood was marred by the lives of people I loved who were either victims of intolerance or perpetrators of it. I drank the Kool-Aid till I was about 6. Then I opened my eyes . . .
I grew up in Canada, in BC, just twenty minutes from the US/CAN border. Everything I saw was delivered on the CBS Evening news with Walter Cronkite. There was a reason my parents immigrated to Canada rather than the US. My father did not agree with the way the black man was treated south of the border.
PS Are you going to publish this as a whole?

The memories of childhood will forever be tainted with the Civil Rights protests and the Viet Nam war.
