I have always admired Mother Pitts from a far. She reminded me somewhat of Dr.King in her civil rights issues and beliefs while fighting for OUR equality. I believe she would say to us now that "The time is always ripe to do right."
Without a shadow of doubt, I have some little King Kids male and female "PITTS" already in the making. (Donavan Wheatfall). Thats how the Original King Kids of Anerica will remember the great Viola Pitts and her vision for the youth's future.

Ft. Worth has lost a great legacy. Mrs. Pitts will forever be in our hearts. She always stood up for what she believed in and had a lot of power in her community! May God Bless Your Family.

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore -
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over -like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
