A poem a day for 2013 - day 324 - I. Hope.

The board of education in Texas decided that no longer would they teach students that African people were stolen from their land, our land, kidnapped and killed but were "unpaid interns" instead. There are no words for such a shame as this except shame on us for not educating ourselves and our own children. Shame on them for the lies that they tell. There is good in the world. There is good in the world. I keep telling myself. Good in the world. Even Texas. Somewhere in Texas there is good. To be found. I hope.
