Sand and Democracy


1t takes plenty OF sand in the ce-
ment to build walls that will stand
up. 1t takes sand to hold up a
wall and it takes that democracy
which is the people to hold up a
social system.
But the old walls of Dixie were
built with dirt and not with sand.
They were built with a piece OF
dirt called the poll tax which got in
peoples eyes aand kept them from
finding their way to the ballot box
e. They were built with another
piece Of dirt called the white prim-
airy which kept the black man from
voting even if he had paid his pou
tax
But it's hard TO buiIda wall or a
social system on chunks of dirt
Today. the folks in the South see
the walls and the social system
which it protected crumble because
a few pieces Of dirt just don't mean
