Segregation was never just separate facilities
It was paying more & getting less in your neighborhood
It was getting the Phd, but still not getting hired
It was needing police for the police
It was building up a newspaper & having it burned (Wells)
It was building a school & having it shot up (JSU)

“The dirtbag hymn I hear when I listen to this winter memory: nothing will teach you more about the necessity of being able to wait than the violent sting of impatience. Growth means being willing to see some harbors as a nest of salt. Confluence is vastly different than influence.” - Stevie Klaark
