The unknown among the abstract, but the life of mysterious and a star that shines is the same abstract that will be known. The passage is wide and unrest, but in the hearts of many was the unjust. Sunny skies may hang, but it’s the dark clouds that follow with an overcast of no meteorology. “Oh the glory of this day, the footsteps of a new day, I will live my life anyway, and this is what I pray”.

Nestled in Niles, South Carolina, a young boy named Basson Odell out in the fields in farming, and surrounded upon him, the motion of caution in the alarm, and where he lives, could cause him harm. Basson lived with parents, Sally and Marque Odell. They were very poor, and the only man power they owned, it was their own strength of their bodies. Farming was all the Odell’s knew. They lived in a shack made of cheap plywood, but it was the craftsmanship of Basson’s father, Marque. Marque had a very with his hands, and he was similarly a commodity in his own right.

However deep in the south, slavery was without end. At night, you could hear the KKK storming through Niles, and setting fires at various Afro-American homes, but it was the Caucasian supremacy that echoed in the land. This frightened the young Basson, and often wondered what would become of his parents and their land. As Basson laid on the floor in a blanket, he glazed at the stars and wished upon them. No answer in terms of resolutions as only the continuation of revolutions.

The young Basson was now getting stronger,a nd his mind began to become more wiser. He tried to teach himself to read. He began to pick up a book called “The Battle Cry”. It seemed to open his eyes, but the wording didn’t give him a clear understanding, but was determined to turn the rhetoric into logical tense.

Now Basson better be careful as the supremacy prohibited Afro-American from reading as it could ideas into their heads and rebel. One night when Basson and his family were asleep, the KKK attacked the Odell’s farm, and took Basson’s mother away, and his father was shot and pours of blood in a puddle, and Basson was left in his tears within his own fears. After that day, Basson never saw his mother again.

Basson’s tears went to rage, and vowed his father’s death was not in vain as the knowledge will be changing the allusion of the land. Basson educated himself in books, but was determined to go to college. He went to Tuskegee Institute and majored in Public Administration. Basson listened attentively to each Professor’s lectures and turning his plea into his voice that would be him.

Mr. Odell’s graduated in honors and became a top ranking Civil Rights Leader, and went back to Niles, South Carolina to make a difference, and change the opposition into a peaceful powerful movement into a positive change. His voice rang out as church bells and his message were like the power of an sew. As Basson was speaking, negative words and supremacy ringed out. However, Basson’s message was clear and wanted every ear to hear. His message was this “Differences in race doesn’t make it right in ace and thinking twice, but living together the way the almighty intended”. Who gives any man the right to subtract and show neglect, but it’s the fellowship in us all that make a difference”. At that point, Afro-Americans were chanting and some Caucasian’s even joined forces in the cause for justice for all, and the deletion of supremacy.
