Rat ode- Elizabeth Acevedo

ause you are not the admired nightingale.
Because you are not the noble doe.
Because you are not the blackbird,
Picturesque ermine, armadillo, or bat.
They’ve been written, and I don’t know their song
The way I know your scuttling between walls.
The scent of your collapsed corpse bloating
Beneath floorboards. Your frantic squeals
As you wrestle your own fur from glue traps.

Because in July of ‘97, you birthed a legion
On 109th, swarmed from behind dumpsters,
Made our street infamous for something
other than crack. We nicknamed you “Cat-
Killer,” raced with you through open hydrants,
Screeched like you when Siete blasted
aluminum bat into your brethren’s skull -
The sound: slapped down dominoes. You reigned
That summer, Rat; knocked down the viejo’s
Heinekens,
Your screech erupting with the cry of Capicu!
And even when they sent exterminators,
Set flame to garbage, half dead, and on fire, you
Pushed on.

Because you may be inelegant, simple,
A mammal bottom-feeder, always freakin’ famished,
Little ugly thing that feasts on what crumbs fall
From the corner of our mouths, but you live
Uncuddled, uncoddled, can’t be bought at Petco
And fed to fat snakes because you’re not the maze-rat
Of labs: pale, pretty-eyed, trained.
You raise yourself sharp fanged, clawed, scarred,
Patched dark - because of this alone they should
love you. So, when they tell you to crawl home
Take your gutter, your dirt coat, your underbelly that
Scrapes against street, concrete, squeak and flight this
page, Rat.

Read the excerpt from a supporting opinion of the supreme court’s ruling in plessy v. ferguson, 1896. laws permitting, and even requiring, their separation in places where they are liable to be brought into contact do not necessarily imply the inferiority of either race to the other, and have been generally, if not universally, recognized as within the competency of the state legislatures in the exercise of their police power. how does this relate to the premises of brown v. board of education? the brown case addresses whether state legislatures are equipped to judge the quality of education offered at segregated schools. the brown case addresses whether authorities believe that one race is inferior to another when creating public schools. the brown case addresses whether these laws inherently deny certain citizens equal protection under the law. the brown case addresses the legality of using police power to monitor public places separated by race.
