BRICKS W/O STRAW=FLIGHT W/O WINGS

If making bricks without straw is impossible, try flying without wings! Such was the lot of our people after Reconstruction's all-too-brief life, existence 1866-1876, after which came the nadir, the deluge of terrorism against us by white mobs and elements of law enforcement. But, by the grace of God, we made it, we got here, by hook or crook, by zig or zag, and are right now marshaling and mustering now for the Great Leap Forward in Jesus name!
