Luther Jackson Green lived in the apartment me. We smoked on the stairs, tell me stories that the white boys never hear. Like when he this sign, he moved North in 1949. On his 10th birthday took him to town to the Jackie Robinson play. It was a perfect day, in the sunshine and the hate. He didnt understand why all those would say such awful things. His daddy said pay no attention to them, turnaround and the man play. The one black man in the baseball field was better in way. My daddy said if you wanna win in this world, you beat em at the wrong game. Luther Jackson Green to law school in 1963. In the summer between he worked in Alabama with Luther King. He met a girl on a summer night; he fell hard when they saw others eyes. There were people in that really didnt like that he was black and she was white. They found her in the ditch, a little outside of town; some stupid man was about it, so Luther him down. He looked him in the eye, spit in his face and turned and walked away. He knew he was better all the hate! He knew he was than all the pain! He knew that theres a time to and a time to walk away! He knew until he the rules, ohh yeah they beat em at the wrong game! He never did lose feeling inside. You could it in his voice; you could see it in his eyes. Luther out West to live, when his wife passed away. He lives right door to his son, so he can watch his grandchild play. Luther Jackson Green, watched election night me. We put a black man in the White House, a thing he thought hed see. Even he never cried, I could see tears in his eyes. He had dreamed this moment, every single day of his life.
