Sadly watching Farmville's white kids scampering into their handsome private high school last week, Negro youngsters went on chasing cats, working in the tobacco fields, staring at comic strips (some ten-year-olds cannot read), and wishing they could go to the local moviehouse (no Negroes allowed). Apathy infected many, but others girded for eventual victory. To the calypso tune of Day-Oh, they sat on sagging porches singing: My ma is scared and my pa is too, So it's up to me and it's up to you. Freedom, freedom, freedom's coming

and it won't be long. They closed the schools and they locked

the door.

But the day is coming when they won't no more.
