Episode 104 Unsung, Black American Heroes!

This week on ... For the People... law in plain language with Debra D. Rainey, Esq. Unsung, Black American Heroes! “Upon the clothes behind the tenement, That hang like ghosts suspended from the lines, Linking each flat, but to each indifferent, Incongruous and strange the moonlight shines.” Claude McKay, Novelist and Poet extraordinaire. “He put his hand on me to arrest me I took my foot and kicked him.  He was blue and purple and turned colors. I started to bite him, but he looked dirty, so I couldn’t bite.  All I  could do was claw and tear his clothes.” Irene Morgan Kirklady, Activist, on why what happened when she refused to give up her seat on a Greyhound Bus on her way home to Baltimore from Virginia. “It would be against all nature for all the Negroes to be either at the bottom, top, or in between. We will go where the internal drive carries us like everybody else. It is up to the individual.” Zora Neale Hurston, Novelist and Activist. WHO IS YOUR BLACK AMERICAN UNSUNG HERO?
