This morning I got up and opened the paper to read what I hoped would the marriage announcements. I always like to read about who I went to school with that is now growing up faster than I am and who's more sucessful than I am, to even it out I read the crime report sections and find out which of my former schoolmates are now doing time. I usually recognize about half the names in both sections.
I was a little surprised to see a photo of a 1951 Minstrel show right where the announcements usually are. It was pretty fucking weird to see old people who used to go to my church done up in black face. I mean of all the photos to print...wasn't there a photo of a cop telling a black girl to "hurry up at that fountain, sister" available?
