Former METCO counselor Marian Howe-Taylor joins the conversation to drop some knowledge, and to set the record straight about Gloria's incident with the cops.
In this episode, Marian Howe-Taylor recites MIDWAY by, Naomi Long Madgett:
I've come this far to freedom and I won't turn back I'm climbing to the highway from my old dirt track I'm coming and I'm going And I'm stretching and I'm growing And I'll reap what I've been sowing or my skin's not black I've prayed and slaved and waited and I've sung my song You've bled me and you've starved me but I've still grown strong You've lashed me and you've treed me And you've everything but freed me But in time you'll know you need me and it won't be long. I've seen the daylight breaking high above the bough I've found my destination and I've made my vow; So whether you abhor me Or deride me or ignore me Mighty mountains loom before me and I won't stop now.
Naomi Long Madgett passed away just after we recorded this episode. Our thoughts are with her family and all who knew her and her poetry.
