This is a conversation with Haley:
Mama, we don't have to go to school on Monday.
Why not?
It's Martin Lucas's day.
Who is Martin Lucas?
He was the blackest American king, and he wore all black, and he was nice, but some people didn't like him and they shot him.
Oh.
Yeah, that's exactly what happened. You know, Grandmama should know a lot about him because it was a long time ago and she's the oldest person I know. But Papaw is pretty old too, so maybe he knows about it. Anyway, Martin Lucas helped the lives of a lot of people so they could eat at the same restaurants and ride the buses and stuff. You know...equal nights.
