#FallMatters Day 17: For #ConstitutionDay, Weatherford‘s poem seems like the perfect fit:
“What My Kinfolk Made
My great-great grandfathers Isaac and Phillip
who were born into slavery, made history,
founding communities after the Civil War.
My great grandmother Mary wove corn husk saddles
that she sold to save money for a small farm.
My great grandfather James built a house and barn on that land.”
