One River, One Boat
Nov. 23rd, 2016 05:33 pmTrump's nomination of Nikki Haley as US Ambassador to the UN prompted one of my online friends to link to this poem by South Carolina's Poet Laureate, Marjory Wentworth, which Haley's staff cut from her inauguration, allegedly for talking about slavery.
Over and above the politics, I think it's a gorgeous piece: One River, One Boat
Some background on the cut.
Some background on Haley (fairly hopeful in that she's the daughter of Sikh immigrants, OTOH Tea Partyista)
If nothing else, she should set Steve Bannon's teeth on edge...
