Description
Written after a cross was burned on campus.

It conjectures that the deed may have been a prank, but as a symbol it will "only add fuel to the already-burning fire in the South." It also references Autherine Lucy's enrollment in 1954 and cautions against the kind of violence that came in reaction.
