Hey y’all, the water is not colored!

Lora McKnight.

When I was a little girl, my family took a road trip from Texas to Kansas. We stopped to get gas and I noticed a sign that said “Colored Water”. I went to the fountain and was totally dismayed that the water was clear and not colored (red blue or some other color). I did not say anything to my family at the time. The same thing happened when I used hear on the news they are having a demonstration , and I wondered what are they showing (demonstrating). Again, I never said anything to anyone. It was several years later that I put those puzzle pieces together, it was the death of Martin Luther King Jr. I never forget those stories, because racism has been constant during my life time. They used to hang us, now they just shoot us. Black Lives Matter.
