Comments
“We got to Pollock, La., at about mid night. In front
of the town was a sign: ‘Nigger stay out of Pollock.’
Well, we %u2014 all 125 of us, armed, and with full packs %u2014
sang at the top of our voices: ‘John Brown’s body lies a
moldering in the ground, but his soul goes marching
on’ louder and louder. And the lights went on
throughout Pollock %u2014 perhaps the Civil War had begun
again?”
Pollock “was somewhat unusual for it forbade black
people into the town %u2014 period.”
