Corollary to a Poem by A. E. Housman How dismolly the day Screens out and blasts the night What disaster you will say, To start another fight. See how heaven shows dismay As her stars are scared away; As the sun ascends with might With his hot and awful light. He shows us babies crying We see the black boy dying We close our eyes and choke our sighs And look into the dreadful skies. Then peacefully the night Puts out the reddened day And the jaws that used to bite Are sterile where we lay. Andrew Goodman 177

Let the word go forth from this time and place . .. that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritageeand unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed. . . .
