So glad I did. This really speaks to me as another woman over 50! I actually just turned 60. Yay for me. Enough of that. I taught high school English for years, and our poetry unit always included a poem "Ballad of Birmingham". {http://oldpoetry.com/opoem/59437-Dudley-Randall-Ballad-Of-Birmingham}. It is about the bombing of the church. It was such an opportunity for a teachable moment about the whole Civil Rights Movement. From that poem was born analysis of the famous MLK speech, his letter from a Birmingham jail, etc. Such poignant memories for those of us who do remember. Such an emotional unit, too. I hope it made an impression on the students. I really like your blog. I'll be back to visit often! xoxo I just found your blog through Privilege. So glad I did.
