Phillies 5.14


Phillies 5.14, originally uploaded by ujima.

May 14 On this date in 1970, two Black students at Jackson State University were killed and many others injured by Jackson police. These killings were never as publicized as the Kent State shootings of four white students that had occurred only a few days earlier. It was a time of turmoil in campus communities across the country that were characterized by protests and demonstrations.www.aaregistry.com/detail.php?id=1660

took me out to the ballgame
Sis & I in the crowd
bought me a pretzel and a bottle of water
cost me eight dollars and a quarter!
root root rooted for the Phillies
they didn't win
what a shame
tied it up in the ninth
lost in the tenth
at the old ballgame
