Description: A three part poem documenting a journey taken by the author, 29 students and 5 other chaperones that retraced the steps of parts of the Underground Railroad on a bus tour sponsored by the Rosa & Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development.  The bus tour ended tragically when the bus went off the road, down a 20 ft embankment and crashed into the Nottoway River in Virginia.  The poem inter-weaves symbols and images of the Civil Rights Movement with stories of the author's baptism and growing up in the post-civil rights south (Louisiana).
