In August 6th, 1956, I danced with Manuel in the dance organized in my village, at an orange grove that was placed near the public washing place. The walls had recently been whitewashed and the moon corroborated that whiteness. It seemed day to me, I swear it seemed day.

It was the day of my mother and father’s wedding, and the entire small town of Daingerfield, Texas had shown up. The wedding was an outdoor affair, complete with a local band and a homemade dance floor. The air was full of the sound of live music, the tap dancing feet of the…
