In my time – nobody talked about racism and slavery as me. That is, no white person. While I can never claim the experience that Booker T. Washington had as a former slave – I feel that my story has value. I grew up in slave country. My father owned and “borrowed” slaves from nearby farmers. Kindly listen as I relate the story about my dear Mother. She taught me that slavery was wrong and I never forgot that lesson.
