The sanctuary of a Black church had a hymn board with the morning’s hymn numbers lined up in rows. Every number pointed to a page meant to be found without help.
The list begins with a number on a board and a child who knew the page.
In this video:
✓ Finding a hymn by its number
✓ Clapping on the backbeat
✓ Tying a necktie for Sunday
✓ The Temptations walk
✓ Changing channels with pliers
✓ Biscuits from scratch
✓ Popcorn on the stove
✓ Patching a bicycle inner tube
Thirty things. None of them came with a certificate. They came from being handed a job in a kitchen or a church or a driveway and watched until you got it right.
It is a door.
