Jackson played portions of King's "I Have A Dream" speech during the Storyhour. Jackson shared his personal experiences during the civil rights era. Jackson grew up on the west side of Birmingham, Ala. He said Alabama was, at that time, a place about to explode with racial ten sion. Jackson, 38, said he can remember having to ride the back of the buses when he was young. With vivid description Jackson told the children of the student protest march in which he took part. "Some of my friends got their legs broken, some of my friends got their arms broken and I certain ly bumped my head and it was the last time I got directly in the front," Jackson said recalling the demon stration in which the police turned hoses and unleashed dogs on the students. 'You have five minutes to dis perse," Jackson said the police had informed the protestors. "What does disperse mean. Mommy," asked six-year-old Alex Wood, the only while child in the audience. Jackson was one of many stu dents detained by the Birmingham police and placed in a bam at Kid die Land. In the early sixties, no Afro-Americans were allowed to go to Kiddie Land to enjoy the rides and recreation, Jackson said. "We could only look through the fence at Kiddie Land," Jackson said, framing his face with his hands as though peering between chain links. "So to me, (being detained) was just like going to heaven, just being able to go there." Jackson recounted the bomb ing of the church he attended as a youth. There, four Afro-American girls were killed in an act of vio lence spurred by racial unrest. "Those were very dangerouse times to be in," he said. But he said that as a youngster he did not realize the seriousness of the situa tions. "I was really too young to realize the danger...but we were also aware of the conditions," he said. "If we don't go to school, will we fulfill the dream?" Jackson asked. The children and their par ents, sang out 'No!'. "If we don't listen to our par ents will we fulfill the dream? If the dream is to become alive we are to become smart, we are to read, and write and practice non violence," Jackson said. "And who knows what Dr. King's dream is?" Jackson asked, continuing the lesson. Alex volun teered, "the dream is black and white children being able to play together." But to the library's staff, edu cating children on the contribu tions King and others made is not playtime at all. Jackson voiced concern for a generation of chil dren who he feels have missed vital lessons about their heritages. "That's why our generations are so disjointed ... I am afraid now there is a whole generation that will be lost because we’re not telling the story. Some young people actually believe things have always been this way," Jackson said. "If you have no sense of where you come from , you'll have no sense of focus for the future." FASHION TURTLENECKS Super colors to choose from!
