[GOVERNOR JOHN SLATON, spoken]
Today we honor those who honored us, some fifty years ago. Those who gave life and limb for Georgia and suffered unimaginable degradation. But never defeat. The men of Georgia and the women of Georgia have never been defeated...
[LEO]
I go to bed at night
Hoping when I wake
This will all be gone
Like it was just a dream
And I’ll be home again
Back again in Brooklyn
Back with people who look like I do
And talk like I do
And think like I do
But then—
The sun rises in Atlanta again...
[SLATON, spoken]
They have risen from the ashes of war with honor and courage and strength!
[LEO]
These people make me tense
I live in fear they’ll start a conversation
These people make no sense:
They talk and I just stare and shut my mouth
It’s like a foreign land
I didn’t understand
That being Southern’s not just being in the South...
When I look out on all this
How can I call this home?
