このコンテンツについて

In honor of the 56th anniversary of the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Debbie Unterman will read a short story her dad, Lewis Unterman, wrote in the early 1960's about school de-segregation in the South. (It fits perfectly within the flow from The Martyr last week to The Shadow & Saboteur, as we jump into Chapter 10 of "Talking to My Selves.")

For some history on this story, we have to go back to Framingham, MA and Temple Beth Shalom 60 years ago. Rabbi Rudolvsky turned to Debbie's dad to lead the sermons on the first Friday night service of the month, called "Family Night." Of course they were geared more towards children. For one such occasion Lewis took pen to paper and wrote a little story with a moral that captured the tenor of the times.

In 2500 words, that simple story still stands up today. Samson is a German Shephard "police dog" who is being used by Sheriff Scruggs in a fictional Southern town to stop integration by fear and intimidation. The brilliant twist is that it is told in the first person voice by Samson! There are more literary twists that are too good to give away.

Just do yourself a favor and listen. It's something you'll never forget. I guarantee it!
