“mother dear, may i go downtown instead of out to play, and march the streets of birmingham in a freedom march today? ” “no, baby, no, you may not go, for the dogs are fierce and wild, and clubs and hoses, guns and jails aren’t good for a little child.” “but, mother, i won’t be alone. other children will go with me, and march the streets of birmingham to make our country free.” “no, baby, no, you may not go, for i fear those guns will fire. but you may go to church instead and sing in the children’s choir.”
what is ironic about the mother’s wishes?
- the protest will be deadly, while the church will be safe.
-the daughter doesn’t listen to her mother and goes to the protest.
-the daughter has already been to church that morning.
-the church will prove just as dangerous as the protest.
