A
A
That
was
the
family
that
I
associated
with
growing
up,
and
I
said
I
grew
up
in
columbia
maryland
we
went
to
if
we
went
to
a
beach,
we
went
to
a
which
was
considered
a
black
beach
in
in
on
chesapeake
called
highland
beach.
It
wasn't
private,
but
it
was
where
the
black
folks
went
from
from
howard
university.
I'm
sorry.
This
thing,
I
think,
is
pulling
us
down,
I'm
not
speaking
loudly
enough
for
people
there,
that's
better
the
the
pains,
the
hills
and
the
prices.
Those
were
my
friends.
A
Whenever
we
traveled
somewhere,
we
traveled
in
our
motor
home,
and
so
we
didn't
have
to
experience.
You
know
going
to
a
hotel
or
or
having
people
look
at
us
crossways.
I
mean
that
happened
from
time
to
time
when
you
go
to
public
restaurants,
but
most
people
looked
at
us
and
trying
to
figure
out
what
we
were.
A
Because
I'm
not
very
dark-skinned-
and
I
don't
have
traditional
african-american
features,
really
no
one
in
my
family
does
and
so
maybe
stepping
out
into
public.
No
one
could
really
label
us
right
away.
When
I
went
away
to
high
school,
I
wouldn't
say
really
experienced
it,
but
I
more
curiosity,
people
would
say:
well
you
don't
you
don't
look
black,
you
don't
talk
black
so
that
may
have
been
my
experience
with
it,
but
I
told
these
these
guys.
A
I
said
I
never
really
experienced
it,
but
then
my
mom
was
came
to
arlington
to
give
a
talk
to
one
of
the
local
high
schools
and
I
just
showed
up
because
I
figured
I
was
going
to
get
free
lunch
out
of
it
and
just
go
to
lunch
with
mom
after
she
gave
her
talk,
and
so
I
was
in
the
audience
and
I
was
listening
to
her
and
again
I
say
this.
I
preface
it
by
saying
I
didn't
know
anything
about
racism
and
I
never
really
experienced
it
until
toward
the
end
of
her
speech.
A
She
was
talking
about.
You
know
my
grandfather's
death.
He
died
in
the
automobile
accident
in
north
carolina
and
she
said
that
maybe
he
would
still
be
alive
today
if
he
had
had
the
opportunity
to
pull
over
and
rest
in
a
hotel
and
when
she
said
that
it
it
registered
with
me,
because
you
know
I
don't
think
twice
about
as
most
people
today,
don't
think
twice
about
hopping
in
a
car
and
drive
somewhere.
And
if
you
get
tired,
you
pull
over
and
you
get
a
hotel
room
and
growing
up
I've.
A
But
I
never
had
that
opportunity
and
that
was
made
real.
That
day,
when
my
mom
said
you
know
he
may
have
made
it
to
his
destination.
Had
he
been
given
the
opportunity
to
to
take
a
rest
in
a
hotel,
there's
a
great
book
that
another
thing
that
we
kind
of
discussed
was
because
the
old
rumor
was
that
he
died
in
an
automobile
accident
because
he
wasn't
given
a
blood
transfusion.
A
He
was
recognized
and
he
was
treated
well
and
they
did
try
and
transfuse
him,
but
coming
from
emergency
medicine
in
my
training,
there's
something
called
the
golden
hour
and
reading
the
details
of
some
of
his
injuries.
By
the
way,
the
name
of
the
book
is
one
blood
one
and
it
details
the
injuries
and
coming
from
a
medic
perspective.
