PRAYER FOR JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI
Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi: Glorified by its proud defiant history, such as :
Professor Dr. Margaret Walker Alexander, author of classic novel, "Jubilee." Terrified, tormented by police and national guard bullets in 1970 during anti-Vietnam war national demonstrations. Magnified by many, including Walter Payton's, NFL football "Hall of Fame" magnificence.
My mind turns to Jackson State as I reflect again upon Donald Trump 's visit to its capital city to participate in the dedication of the state's new Civil Rights Museum. Kent State, Jackson State, Southern. They were doleful elegies, litanies, for us at Howard University who were as roiled in our opposition to U.S.'s evil Vietnam imperial design, as were they. We too abhorred our country's disdain for that Southeast Asian nation's truly indigenous people's revolutionary freedom struggle.
We protested for 2-weeks that Spring at Howard University in 1970, the violence and bloodshed at Kent State, Jackson State, Southern University, in Baton Rouge. They paid in blood! We commiserated in University-sanctioned solemn assembly, to which student leaders from Jackson State and Southern journeyed to Howard University, expressing solidarity, love , sympathy with us, and we with them, our heroes, reciprocally.
I now pray to Almighty God that Donald Trump's controversial visit prove not to be as incendiary as it might in unseemliness become, should white Alt-Right terrorists rally, enflame, in Trump's tribute! I now pray that the outcome of the dedication is wholly admirable, salubrious, redemptive !
