I survived

I have discovered that a long time ago it was once thought that I would become the next Evita Peron,ha...so wrong.Lets see,she was pretty, popular, spoke well,and was charismatic. I'm not in the least.I stutter,not pretty like her,and rather unpopular according to some. Why did folks think that.My grandpa took me to a civil-rights meeting led by Dr.Jose Garcia,San Antonio,when I was 6yrs old.The times we lived in and thru.At 6yrs. of age I had managed to outwit a stupid KKK adult who was tying me and a few other people up in some chairs.I got loose and ran out behind him while he set the building on fire as he went.The house burnt to the ground in broad daylight, despite the fact that the fire department was a mere 5minutes away!They were getting their picture taken next to the burning cross in the front yard of that burning house when I came out! I yanked one of the fiends pointy dunce caps off and I threw it at the burning cross and I yelled at me liar liar pants on fire! and ran away while they busied themselves with putting the fire out on one of their own. That was not
even down in the south, that was 1966 Hammond,IN.
