I'm still away."'Look,' they were saying, "we are slow to waken to the notion that we are only as other women and men, and even slower to move in anger, but we are gathering ourselves to fight for and protect what your son fought for on behalf of us. If you will let us weave your story and your son's life and death into what we already know - into the songs, the sermons, the 'brother and sister' - we will soon be so angry we cannot help but move. Understand this."
-Meridian by Alice Walker
