The AC died. Littell dipped his window.
He drove I-20. He passed Fed cars. He passed camera vans.
Klan kars tailed them. Said kars sported decals. “AYAK” meant “Are You A Klansman?” “AKIA” meant “A Klansman I Am.”
He’d called Mr. Hoover. He’d mentioned his trip. Mr. Hoover approved.
“A salutary idea. You can meet with Bayard Rustin and observe ‘Freedom Summer’ in the flesh. I would be delighted to hear your perceptions, minus your pro-Negro views.”
He brought twenty grand. Ten for Bayard Rustin/ten for some Cuban exiles. Pete scored on Clay-Liston. Pete had his own tithe.
It was hot. Bugs bombed the car. Klan kars blew by. Klan klods sneered at him. Klan kooks flipped him off.
He looked Fed. That made him a ten-ring. He brought his gun along—safety first.
Lyle Holly called him in Vegas. Lyle Holly stressed caution. Lyle Holly ragged his planned trip.
Don’t do it. You look Fed. The Klan hates you. The whites hate you. The lefties hate your guts.
Littell passed Bogue Chitto Swamp. Littell saw drag-line crews. The kids were dead. Lyle said so. Mr. Hoover said some Choctaws found their car.
It vibed Klan. Mr. Hoover was pissed. We’ll martyr the kids now. We’ll shit on states’ rights.
Littell drove I-15. Littell skimmed the radio. Nut preachers preached. It’s a lie. It’s a hoax. Them kids are holed up in Jew York.
He’d talked to Moe Dalitz. Moe braced all the Boys. They okayed the Hughes charter plan. That meant more money—another tithe source.
Traffic stalled. Gawkers lined the roadway. Fed cars crawled. News vans crawled. Folks rubbernecked.
State troopers and crackers. Housewives and toddlers in sheets. They flashed hand signals—kall it Klan kode—konfidential konversation.
Littell jumped lanes. Littell veered hard right. There—a cross off the road. A used cross—last night’s business—gauze on scorched wood.
A crowd gawked the totem. Feds and Negroes. Snow-cone vendors sans sheets.
There’s Bayard Rustin—spiffed in a seersucker suit.
Bayard saw him. Bayard waved. Bayard walked over. A man tossed an egg. A man tossed a snow cone. They nailed Bayard flush.
They parked. They viewed a torched church.
The church was razed. The church was molotoved. Tech crews bagged bomb debris.
Littell tithed Bayard. Bayard briefcased the money. Bayard watched the techs.
“Should I be encouraged?”
