There's several ways of saying what's on your mind. And in states and counties where it ain't too healthy to talk too loud, speak your mind, or even vote like you want to, folks have found other ways of getting the word around. One of the main ways is by singing.” - Woody Guthrie

In 1963 William Moore was killed at this spot on US 11 about 10 miles north of Gadsden, AL, about 40 miles from my hometown. He was walking from Chattanooga, TN to Jackson, MS in support of Civil Rights. No one was charged with his murder. The story is on the historical marker.

In 1965 Willie Brewster was killed by KKK thugs in my hometown of Anniston, AL who shot him from a passing car as he drove home from work. Later convicted, the low life Kluckers were sentenced to 7 years.

"...Fascism says for us to split ourselves up into the thousand cliques and klans and beat our own chains of slavery onto our ankles by wasting our strength fighting our friend and neighbor—allowing the fascists to nip us off one by one, little by little, group by group." –

Justice served for the Washita River massacre. You found fame General Custer, but it wasn't the glory of the Presidency you aspired to. Today is the 149th anniversary of the Battle of The Little Bighorn; a pyrrhic victory for Indigenous People, but justice served.

In 1963 Sports Illustrated had an article on the Panguitch, UT state high school basketball championship team. I vividly flashed back to that when I went thru Panguitch on US 89. This land is a good land, support democracy and not Fascism.

Loved this small cemetery by the Mississippi River on Aitkin County Rd. #3 north of Palisade, MN. The fellow must have been quite a baseball fan. This land is a good land, stand against Fascism, we are better than that.

US 50 in Nevada has been called the Loneliest Road in America. I don't know if it's the loneliest, but it is lonely that's for sure.

OTD Fannie Lou Hamer and fellow activists were arrested in Winona, Mississippi, coming from a voter registration workshop. They had been riding in the "white" section of a Greyhound bus.
Police ordered incarcerated men to beat the women. She spent more than a month recovering from her injuries.

"Some of the white people will tell us, 'Well, I just don’t believe in integration.' But he been integrating at night a long time. If he hadn’t been, it wouldn’t be as many light-skinned Negroes as it is. We are made from the same blood and we are on our way!"

Four Corners; where Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah meet. Reached by US 160, the monument is a great place for kids to say "I was in four states at the same time". Woody's road passed by here. Our land is a good land, stand against Fascism, it's not coming, it is here.

Dekle Beach, a tiny beach area on the Gulf of Mexico, a bit south of Perry, FL on FL 361. I sat there on my bike and imagined being a native seeing Spanish ships near, wondering who or what it was. A few shots later and I knew they weren't here to be friends, has been that way for 500 years.

Awoke to sunrise over Navajo National Monument at the end of Arizona Highway 564 near Shonto. The administration proposes a 25% cut in federal funds to Indigenous People programs, whose lands were violently taken from them. The only promise kept was that their lands would be taken.

But Fascism keeps popping up with its poison, stronger in our country now than it has ever been since the days of the Confederacy, which was essentially an early Fascist country.

I have eaten a few persimmons growing up in Alabama, and knew that they are a favorite of Possums, but they were always from a lone tree in rural areas. I never saw a persimmon grove until passing this one on Florida 26 near Newberry and Gainesville. Our land is a good land, stand against Fascism.
