In loving, living memory, John Melançon 1928 – 2007
Atlanta
I met, I personally met a lot of these women
[the women who were the real driving force, and backbone of the civil rights movement]try to teach us how to sing
a spiritual you've got a good voiceprosecuting attorney whose phones we used
"I know you've got negras over there
if someone reports you I'll prosecute the hell [out of you]
but I don't want you to stop using the phone"at least I had the sense to not say anything
