BRIGHTENERS

The poet and lifelong teacher,
Lizette Woodwork Reese, early
in her career was an instructor
in a Baltimore grade school.
The school was located in an i'm
migrant part of the city. There
was much bullying among the
pupils. One day a boy came to
her and complained. Schneider
kicked me downstairs at recess"
Lizette Woodwork Reese imme-
diately called the other youth be-
fore them. Now, the next time
you go to recess" she told the
bullied boy, Il want you to let
Schneider here push you down.
stairs. But when you get out on
the playground. take off your
jacket, roll up your sleeves and
lick him as hard as you can"
The matter ended right there.
