Title: Chapter 11 of Say I'm Dead by E. Dolores Johnson

After dinner, we snuggled up on our new couch, watching TV, me in my nightgown. About halfway through the program, an insistent banging started on the front door, so loud Luther and I both jumped. He approached the door cautiously while I ran back to the bedroom to pull a dress over my head. I heard the door latch open, then nothing.

"Come out here," Luther said

He stood just inside the threshold, looking ahead like he was nailed in place. Standing beside him, I saw nobody was out there, anywhere. The street was silent and dark, except for the blaze illuminating the night sky. On our front lawn, flames jumped off a burning wooden cross, and hammered into our lawn near a tree. page 125 of Say I'm Dead

"Good God Almighty," I said, a sharp tingle electrifying my spine.

We took in that symbol of hate, scared to go out. Scanning our hundred-foot frontage and then the street, we couldn't see anybody moving. It was eerie, how still the night was, no neighbor coming outside when a fire crackled on a crucifix.

In the next days, our house was egged, then another morning we found garbage strewn on the lawn: coffee grounds and dirty diapers, empty soup cans and, newspapers, leftover chili and chicken bones. Luther called the police, who said they couldn't do anything about it after the fact. So, we cleaned it up and hosed down the house and grass. page 130 of Say I'm Dead

Title: Introduction

In our video, We chose to base it on interracial marriage and relationships, and how it used to be widely hated and unwanted. We chose this because in the book, Say I'm Dead, E. Dolores Johnson faced many problems due to being in an interracial relationship. We show themes of love and social injustice in our video to give insight into how interracial couples were treated at that time.
