Children On The Outside Looking In



The picture above of black children looking in on a whites-only playground in Mobile, Alabama, 1956 reminds me of this touching poem by Sarah Norcliffe Cleghorn:



 The golf links lie so near the mill 
 That almost every day 
 The laboring children can look out 
 And see the men at play.
