Without thinking i ran as fast as i could towards the forgotten gate, i felt like my legs were going to give out but i had not wanted something so badly then to get out of this nightmare so i ran and didn’t stop. When I got outside, i noticed the front stairs were gone and the streets were filled with sobbing church members and there were men in suits everywhere, the lovely melody of the birds were replaced by the sirens that were blaring and excitement turned to fear and pain, it was just heartbreaking. I started hearing about the KKK and all the puzzle pieces formed. Almost instantaneously I dropped to ground, my heart was so heavy with all the pain and sorrow and hatred. I always heard about white men and Ma admired Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech about freedom and equality but i guess i never just grasped the concept. My family and all of the members of my church had done nothing but live, how did we deserve
