Fish House Blue's

The inside of the kitchen reminded of a combat zone. Line cooks were shouting orders at the top of their lungs, waitresses were rushing back and forth from the  dining room area to the kitchen, shouting at the top of their lungs, tempers were running high. It was a circus within a circus. It was your average Friday night at “Delta Pride Catfish House” a modest and rustic little seafood and steak house restaurant my uncle Cliff owned and operated.

Benton Academy
Benton Academy was a private, mostly white, mostly protestant, Christian school that only allowed the sons and daughters of the bourgeoisie of Benton to become students. The academy had started off as a segregation academy. The academy had started when a group of Benton's leading businessmen decided that they would not send their children to the newly desegregated public schools. Among those businessmen had been my grandfather Sherman Potter.

My Will

I took a deep breath as I peered toward the glowing television screen. I was back home now, mom had called me before I'd had a chance to venture into girlhood. Mom did not feel safe driving home in a blinding rain storm. So we cut our little trip into Jackson short. I was a little disappointed. But I guess I just had to wait patiently and deliberately for the right opportunity to act, rather than acting on impulse.
