Our map showed a ‘Political Museum’ in Winnfield, which sounded interesting. Unfortunatey there was not a photo of or reference to a single black person. As it turned out, the museum was based primarily on one figure, Earl Kemp Long, and should have been named ‘Musuem of White Politics’. Here’s Earl campaigning back in the day.
Much more interesting was Odell Woods, local police officer who was supervising inmate workers. The five or so black youths were helping out at the Council for the Aged; earlier today we saw another group pruning trees and ‘weed-whacking’ (using whipper-snippers). All involved wanted to be in photos; with thi iPhone I just got a photo of Martina and officer Woods. He was about 7′ tall and haas great rapport with the inmates. At first I thought they were all friends. He once had a guy escape on him, he said.
