I finally learned to touch that hurt in me as I became older and began to talk about the Southern freedom movement, and began to connect my stories with the stories of my other colleagues and freedom fighters, who, like me, had faced deadly trauma of racism, and who had lost friends along the way, and who themselves have been beaten and thrown in jail.
Finalmente, aprendi a tocar essa ferida em mim conforme fui ficando mais velha e comecei a falar sobre o Southern Freedom Movement e a relacionar minhas histórias com as de meus outros colegas e combatentes da liberdade que, como eu, haviam enfrentado um trauma intenso de racismo e perdido amigos ao longo do caminho, e que foram espancados e jogados na cadeia.
