This photo was taken by Donald Baxter, who, like I, participates in a list-serve for veterans of the Civil Rights Movement. He took the photo earlier this week between Atlanta and Birmingham. Check out Donald's excellent web site.

Previous post: Now I’m psyched
Folks I’ve got them hungry blues
And nothin’ in this to lose
People tellin’ me to choose
Between dyin’ and lyin’ and keep
on cryin’
Tired of them hungry blues
Listen ain’t you heard the news
There’s another thing to choose
A brand new world clean and fine
Where nobody’s hungry
And there’s no color line
A thing like that’s worth
anybody dyin’
I ain’t got a thing to lose
But them doggone hungry blues
James P. Johnson
Langston Hughes
