PHILADELPHIA â I donât have a clear memory of when my father went down to Mississippi in 1967.
I was 5 years old, and my focus was on my upcoming kindergarten graduation. I only knew that Daddy had taken a trip to a place that was farther south than where Iâd been born, in Baltimore, and that he wouldnât be back in time for my party. I remember receiving a telegram from him (for you Gen Zâers, itâs like an Instagram but on a piece of paper) congratulating me on the academic achievement and sending a hug.
My mother had just given birth to my brother Jon a month before, and she didnât really have much time to explain what Ted Flowers was doing in that faraway place called Jackson.
