One evening in Livingston, Alabama, young Phyllis hid away and watched as her grandmother Lula Horn engaged an angry mob of hooded Klansmen on horseback who searched the rural community for a black man. Their intent was to harm or possibly kill the man when they caught him. Lula’s cool-headedness and her locally famous tea cakes diverted the vigilante’s attention long enough to give the man time to make his escape. Stories of colorful fabrics and skin are woven throughout this episode.
