PAX ROMANA
The Roman Empire controlled most of the Mediterranean area by 44 B.C. This was
known as Pax Romana. Pax Romana was an era of relative tranquility in which Rome
endured neither major civil wars, such as the perpetual bloodshed of the third century
AD, nor serious invasions. This was a period of "moderation" initiated by Augustus and
imitated by his successors. Conquest became less beneficial and the Emperors became
content with the borders of the Empire and profiting from trade and commerce. This was
a period of peace and expansion.

THE JIM CROW SOUTH
The Jim Crow Laws were state and
local laws enacted in the Southern
and border states of the United
States and enforced between 1876
and 1965. They mandated "separate
but equal" status for black
Americans. In reality, this led to
treatment and accommodations that
were almost always inferior to those
provided to white Americans. The
Jim Crow period or the Jim Crow
era refers to the time during which
this practice occurred. The most
important laws required that public
schools, public places and public
transportation, like trains and buses,
have separate facilities for whites
and blacks.

PART I: THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD
APRIL is the cruelest month,
Breeding Lilacs out of dead leaves
Mixing Memory and desire,
Stirring Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering the Earth in
forgetful snow,
Feeding A little life with dried tubers.
