When I first came to canada,
00:00:02.735 --> 00:00:03.966
It seemed as if
the white people
00:00:04.001 --> 00:00:06.302
Did not want to
speak to us.
00:00:06.304 --> 00:00:07.771
I took this very
much to heart,
00:00:07.906 --> 00:00:08.839

00:00:08.974 --> 00:00:10.239

00:00:10.275 --> 00:00:12.375
To their neighbours,
coloured people.
00:00:12.378 --> 00:00:14.845
I felt so about it that
if they had come for me,
00:00:14.098 --> 00:00:17.114
