Title A name given to the resource 1 page 10 Bold AND ABOUT SELMA What can one say about Selma if he is white and can vote and even walk to his state capitol if he wants to? Excuse me? I’m sorry? Selma seems to say more about America than about Alabama. For it seems to point out how nation-wide we think white. We, most of us, were shocked at the murder of James Reeb of Boston. We responded to that tragedy by sending the widow, through our highest elected official, several long-stemmed yellow roses, mixed with snapdragons. Yellow roses! Was it our compassion or our cynicism? Whichever it was, three weeks earlier another man was killed in that same struggle just a few miles from where James Reeb was struck down. He had no wife, but he had a mother. She received no yellow roses. To date no arrests have been made in connection with his death though his dying testimony was that he had been shot by an Alabama State Trooper. He was black. Four arrests have been made in connection with the death of Reverend Reeb. They should have been. And yellow roses to his widow. No roses and no arrests for the black man. THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS! Pardon the murdered black man if his ghostly laughter is sardonic. For strange thing about all that. “The Yellow Rose of Texas” was a mulatto woman. But no roses for the black man. How many of us even know his name? His rottening flesh must now sing out the new lyrics: My half sister was the yellow rose. My brother got the flowers.
