40 Acres And A Mule Fall Festival Talk

Now Addy had some flashbacks...She knew the group 40 acres and a mule,the beer 40 acres and a mule,the negro talk of 40 acres and a mule,and the reparations raps by the new artists of 40 acres and a mule.She kind of giggled inside at the Harrisneckeans rant of reparations and their 40 acres and a mule at last Saturday's Fall Festival at First African Baptist Church Field meeting. She giggled inside thinking good luck on getting that one,don't hold your breath.

Well, due to circumstances beyond her control, Addy found herself riding through the rice fields of Mound Bayou,Mississippi.And as a plaque to the Black Struggle,their resides the first family in the country to receive their 40 acres and a mule,and yet another,and another.And the local Black Mississippians know this like ordering french fries from McDonalds, or getting okra at a Geechee fest.She sat dumbfounded,and was like I thought that was a Myth.The Raws is that family's name,they got their 40 acres and a mule,and so did their neighbors. And right around them sits their 40 acres.And they did get their mule.

Now,I am looking back at the Fall Festival and saying not only is Harris Neck coming back,but if they got their 40 acres,who else got their 40 acres, and when do we get our 40 acres.

The End
