My grandpaw took me to a town in Louisiana called Morganza.
In this city along the railroad, all the businesses are closed down.
My pawpaw said “People say this town is hunted, and theres a reason these businesses are all closed. See son, when I was younger than you, you would be able to come into this town and see black people hung on this street, or they were laying by the railroad tracks. White people would
lynch them then claim the train ran them over. It would especially happen when the police locked black men up in the local jail.
My grandmaw on the other side of fhe family said the same exact thing years ago, and added, “the white people my age and older you see around this area are the ones that did it, and they walk around acting like nothing ever happened.”
I shoulda recorded him yesterday, he took me to the dirt patch areas he grew up
Walking to school and having the white bus kids ride by, throw rocks at them, and call them ******
Having to drink water from a deep cow mud imprint in the ground, but first having to brush the mosquito eggs to the side
