“A forced confession is no confession at all”
―
―
“Nine Negro boys in Alabama were on trial for their lives when I got back from Cuba and Haiti. The famous Scottsboro "rape" case was in full session. I visited those boys in the death house at Kilby Prison, and I wrote many poems about them. One of those poems was:
CHRIST IN ALABAMA
Christ is a Nigger,
Beaten and black--
O, bare your back.
Mary is His Mother--
Mammy of the South,
Silence your mouth.
God's His Father--
White Master above,
Grant us your love.
Most holy bastard
Of the bleeding mouth:
Nigger Christ
On the cross of the South.”
