A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wing in the orange suns rays and dares to claim the sky. But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom. The free bird thinks of another breeze and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own. But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom

Based on evidence recently presented by A.C. Thompson in The Nation, it appears that while at least 11 Black men were shot... (continue reading)

"The Nation's" article tells the story of Donnell Herrington, Marcel
Alexander, and Chris Collins--a group of friends who were attacked by
shotgun-wielding White men as they entered Algiers Point on September
1, 2005. As they tried to escape, Herrington recalls, their attackers
shouted, "Get him! Get that %#&@$!!" He managed to get away. Alexander
and Collins were told that they would be allowed to live on the
condition
that they told other Black folks not to come to Algiers Point.
