Ballad Of Birmingham
In the Ballad Of Birmingham, the poem gives the reader a personal look into a tragic event and the effects of racism on a personal level.
In Alabama during the Civil Rights movement in 1960, an eager daughter is ready to march in a civil rights rally and her mother, fearful for her refuses to let her go. “ The church, you may go to the church “ says her mother. She believed that being at a church, she would be safe.
Remembering what her daughter had worn wore on her way to the church “ white gloves on her small brown hands “ and “ white shoes on her feet “. The mother did not know that would be her last day seeing her child “ for when she heard the explosion, her eyes grew wet and wild “ racing through the streets
