In rural areas of the South, tragedy would strike from time to time. Floods, hurricanes, pestilance, disease, death, etc. When that happened, race, gender, and economic differences didn't matter. What did matter, was that people pulled together and called on a higher power to help them through the valley. Souls were bared, crying was poured out unashamed, and the grief was shared by all. It helped to soothe the aching heart, put things into proper perspective, and gave hope and
comfort to those who were impacted by the aweful circumstances. Today is still a good time for all of us to pull together just like they did back then.
