I appeared on The Takeaway this morning with New York Times reporter Shaila Dewan and Catherine Walker, whose father Clifton was murdered by Klansmen on February 28, 1964. Today’s segment was a follow up to Dewan’s article in yesterday’s Times.

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
