Magnolia closed her eyes and took a moment to herself. When they opened, she unlocked the bedroom door to see her mother exhaustedly leaning on the doorsill. Her mom looked so worn out, absent of the fight she used to have when Magnolia was young. The last thing she wanted to do was cause her mom pain but she believed that she didn't have a choice. 

"Magnolia, why do you do this to yourself?", she asked. Magnolia saw the tears begin to fall from her mother's eyes and it broke her in a place deep inside her. Her mother reached up and brushed her finger against the bloody wound on Magnolia's forehead. Magnolia flinched and backed away. 

"Mama, I do it because these little bruises are nothing compared to the pain that I feel everyday, out there, being treated like I'm not a person, when we both know that we are so much more."

Follow Carolina Whittley and read her story about how she lived in a world to her, evolved around, racism, segregation, and love. Living in a period where the fight to end racism was anything she and her family seemed to think of, and the struggle to end segregation. Her life had become everything but comfortable as she worries about the safety of her family and herself as the politics of everyday threaten her existence. Life in the south before the civil rights movement, and during, African Americans constantly underwent a series of all forms of hate just because of the amount of Melanin in their skin. And her being the same amount of white as she is black brings hate from both sides.
