SIX OâCLOCK NEWS
Stomach growling,
I walked into the living room.
âMom, whenâs dinner?â I asked.
She put a finger to her lips,
pointed to the TV.
A young man named James Meredith
flashed across the screen,
hedged in by snarling white men,
women, and even children,
celebrating their communal hatred
by pummeling this brown man-child
with eggs and epithets
I wasnât allowed to use.
Only National Guard troops
got him through the doors
of Ole Miss.
And what was all that
ruckus for?
Somebody colored
wanted to enroll
in a white university!
Deep inside,
I felt a burning
send my appetite
up in smoke.
