“Mississippi seems to be the rickety shed that houses the moonshine still of all that is bad about the human race in general.”

– Anon. Yankee friend after hearing one more thing about where I was stuck in Mississippi. I believe this was after I told her about the Klan marching down Main St. on MLK day (or, as they celebrated there, the birthday of Robert E. Lee.)
