A thousand miles from the place i was born. A life spent wandering and wondering. The Beauty of Living in Selma. March 12, 2008. Two pictures of Laurence: one from Monday, and one from the front page of the Selma paper, more than 40 years ago. That is Sheriff Clarke shoving him in the stomach with a baton as he stands outside the Dallas County Courthouse demanding the right to vote. As we walked down the street, Joanne waved hi to some men unloading their car, and other men walking down the street. &...

A thousand miles from the place i was born. A life spent wandering and wondering. March 18, 2008. Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Booker T. and the MGs. All from Soulsville, USA, otherwise known as Memphis. Soulsville is the neighborhood surrounding Stax recording studio. A huge number of big names in soul music and early rock-n-roll came from just a few square blocks. Pretty amazing, actually. In the museum, an entire church-. So, I consider Beale Street the only wasted part of the trip. (ha, no pun ...

Mississippi Burning | a thousand miles from the place i was born
https://a1000milesfromtheplaceiwasborn.wordpress.com/2008/03/18/mississippi-burning
A thousand miles from the place i was born. A life spent wandering and wondering. March 18, 2008. The church itself is, of course, small. The preacher said they may get up to 85 people on. One special thing about this church’s story is the old white church bell, which survived the fire and stands in front of the church to this day. It is the only thing left from the time when Mississippi, and Mt. Zion burned. Filed in Civil Rights Pilgrimage. One Response to “Mississippi Burning”. Enter your comment here.

A thousand miles from the place i was born. A life spent wandering and wondering. March 18, 2008. The bus ride home on Saturday was relaxing. Earlier in the day we visited the Lorraine Hotel where Martin Luther King was shot. It has been turned into the National Civil Rights Museum. Our group went to Neely’s Bar-B-Que. For lunch. Chopped beef sandwich, cole slaw and about four glasses of sweet tea- that’s what I call lunch. Earlier in the evening we quietly took up an offering on the bus, and presented i...

A thousand miles from the place i was born. A life spent wandering and wondering. Off to M-I-Crooked Letter-Crooked Letter-I…. March 15, 2008. We spent Thursday morning in Montgomery, going to the Rosa Parks Museum. It’s run by Troy University and is sitting right on the corner where Rosa Parks was arrested. It’s kind of odd, having a whole museum dedicated to what was about ten minutes of history, but it put the whole event into context. To topple it over. His picture, once etched into an oval near ...
