When my mother's parents left the country and moved to Tuscaloosa, all the kids pitched in and built them a house. It's changed a bit. But the old garage looks just as it has for 80 years.

steps of the First African Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa Alabama. Not too far distant is the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse. It was new in 1964. Contrary to promises of the city and the county, the courthouse and separate white and "colored" drinking fountains. "Colored" restrooms were in the basement. The segregated facilities provided sufficient provocation for the Black community to march in protest. The broken promise made the march a required act. I was at the meeting inside the church on Monday night, June 8, 1964. The Rev. T.Y. Rogers told the packed sanctuary that the next day, Tuesday morning, as many as were committed to non-violence, should assemble and march two-by-two to the courthouse and there take a sip from the white drinking fountain and use the "white facilities". What happened on what is now known as "Bloody Tuesday" saw Rev. Rogers immediately arrested and the marchers, two-by-two, men, women, school children, savagely beaten by the combined forces of the Tuscaloosa Police Department, "deputized" white folk (the KKK), the fire department and just plain outraged white folk outraged by what these "niggas" were doing. More people were assaulted, brutalized, hospitalized on Tuscaloosa's Bloody Tuesday that would be so in Selma in March 1965. And yet the nation hardly noticed. It still hasn't. There was no national media present. I write this on June 8 2024. Tomorrow, June 9, will be the sixtieth anniversary of the march and the attack on innocent folk exercising their right to assemble and protest. Details at 11? We'll see.
