PRESENTATION OUTLINE
"Mother dear, may I go downtown
Instead of out to play,
And march the streets of Birmingham
In a freedom match today?"

"No, baby, no,you may not go,
For the dogs are fierce and wild,
And clubs and horses, guns and jails
Aren't good for a little child

" But, mother, I won't be alone.
Other children will go with me,
And march the streets of Birmingham
To make out country free."

"No, baby, no, you may not go,
For I fear those guns will fire.
But you may to go the church instead
And sing in the children's choir."

She has combed and brushed her night-dark hair,
And bathed rose petal sweet,
And drawn white gloves on her small brown hands,
And white shoes on her feet.

The mother smiled to know her child
Was in the sacred place,
But that smile was the last smile
To come upon her face.

For when she heard the explosion,
Her eyes grew wet and wild.
She raced through the streets of Birmingham
Calling for her child.

She clawed through bits of glass and brick,
Then lifted out a shoe.
“O, here’s the shoe my baby wore,
But, baby, where are you?”
