Know Your Place…and Stay In It!
By: Demita Usher

Growing up, when my inquisitive mind got under my mother's skin, I was admonished with the statement, “Stay in a child's place!”  Today, some sixty years after the de-segregation of the south, a friend of mine shared with me that the attitude of many there is “We don't care where you live or where you sit on the bus, as long as you know your place.” When you hear the statement, “stay in your place” it usually comes with the negative connotation of being in a subservient position, and because of this negative association, many of us are sadly displaced and thereby separated from our true purpose.
