Every day I sit here in my room and play songs on my my guitar as part of my struggle to "keep" going"  in this place where people like me but don't understand where I've come from. 

The article I read by bill ayes this morning about the memorials in Alabama - going thru the whole history of opprssion of black people, illustrates why I play songs of freedom every day.

Here's  one that touches my heart: "No more aution bock o'er me, no! more, no more! Many thoundand gone.

No more lynching over me, no more no more. Many thousand gone."

I want to thank Bill again for having put something out to the movevent that captures our souls.  (This is the first chance I've had to write what he put in my copy of Demand the Impossible. "David.  Comrade.friend, brother -- keep moving forward! Joy and Justice, Bill Ayers.)
