Richard Moore describes himself as “just a guy who wanted to help.”

This is somehow funny coming from a man whom the Dalai Lama refers to as “my hero.”

It’s going to be a surreal moment. From what I understand, there’s a composer, a bridge, 600 singing schoolchildren, a Nobel Laureate, and one righteous celebration. The new Peace Bridge in Derry~Londonderry, Northern Ireland will be dedicated on June 25th.  And amazing to me still, I will be there.  Irish composer Ian Wilson contacted me via email in April. Could he use one of my poems in a new work he had been commissioned to compose for the bridge's opening ceremony?

"They were born to be slaves and serve White People. Bout time for them to start doing it again." 

"No nigger will ever rule the WHITE House". 

White-supremacist graffitis were found at Colgate University on the same day the United States elected its first African American president. It's been less than a week, and I am standing in front of an overflowing chapel on this all-American "Hidden Ivy" campus, with over a thousand people who have congregated here to denounce the symbols of a deep, ongoing strand of racism. The midday sun is as dim as the air is crisp, but the chill comes from elsewhere: the bigoted scribbles were part of hundreds of race threats and crimes committed around the same time across the US.

Nashville sit-inFrom the video "We were warriors".

 

From behind the stools, white men start taunting the mixed row of mostly black students who had the audacity to sit there. "He's so dark the whole room is darkened." "Nobody ain't gonna sit beside them dirty niggers." Those on the swiveling seats at the counter answer only with an unshakable look of dignity.  Frustrated, the men from behind start pushing and shoving. Still no response from those on the stools. Then they launch the attack: hurling obscenities, throwing milk shakes and live cigarette buts, grabbing and punching. Lenses capture the scene. The whole world watches in shock.
