This work evolved from a gallery viewing of civil rights photography at the High Museum in Atlanta, GA. As I sat and viewed the patrons viewing the work, I wrote this poem on the margins of the exhibition program, reminiscent of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. writing on the margins of newspapers in a Birmingham, AL jail cell.
