My fourth-grade teacher was a wonder - she taught use to dance to Nola, The Spanish Cavalier, multiple rounds and squares, memorization of poetry, Dr. IronBeard and Ol' Dan Tucker, and she also told the story of:

A little black child that came home in tears, to her mama, because of the taunting and teasing she had received at school.

The child's mother held her close, enfolded and rocked her in loving arms and said, "That's all right honey, there ain't no-where in The Bible that is says, 'God ain't black.'"

Sincerely,
