Callaway Plantation And Voting Rights Law Tanka Poem by Chen-ou Liu

under a painting
of the Callaway plantation
the governor's name
inscribed in the ironclad
voting rights law

FYI: This poem is a sequel to the following tanka written for Black History Month, which is 'celebrated' in North America in February

Emory President praised
the three-fifths compromise...
on the sun-tanned backs
of a row of black students
'This is 5/5 outrageous'
