I entered New York
public school, I had just come from Texas
and I was six years old. When my mother came to fetch me from school
the first day, I was walking hand in hand
with a little black boy. (solemn music) My grandmother was shocked when she heard of black
children in my school, and she asked my parents
to put me in some other school. I had not been to school before. Not in the South. So, I knew nothing
of segregation. (solemn music)
