About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.

Absolutely! BTW, WP is not allowing some comments (?!!!) so that’s why I have yet to respond to some of your previous comments
I wonder why?! I know we’re connected in our hearts, and no comments back is okay with me, of course. ❤

Heart felt and lived, love and compassion is a way of life and my way of life, and if one wishes to call this a religion, they have my humble respect. JJ
Agree. It’s all about the actions anyway, not the label, as I know you well know. And, especially after your last poem which speaks to the nature of using words. 🙂
Thanks for the reblog P.
