Our lives at risk…..Systah Sylvia

Moten John told me he first met Sister Sylvia when she applied for entry into the his program. She was a young mother, perhaps twenty three or so. Dressed in Muslim proper from her head to her feet she was stunning, Mr. John told me. He said he had never  seen a woman totally clothed that captured his imagination so completely.

His program was a sliver that was left from the “War against Poverty” that was declared circa 1964 by the Johnson administration to offer pacification for the “civil rights” movement.
