organizing in the south

so people used to always tell me, "yeah, but you're not gonna leave the south, right? you can't leave the south. there's nothing like organizing down here."

and i smiled my broad smile and giggled my nervous giggle and responded, "i love north carolina."

and then i moved to new york city.
and now i understand.

Preach it Sister. There's nothing like the South for some y'all come, no bullshit, throwdown, get-it-done, tradition rooted, blood in the soil, roots of our ancestors organizing. Amen.
