When I was about 10, my family moved to a new town. I became friends with a girl in my class. She invited me to her house after school one day, and when I was over there I saw a book on the table about Martin Luther – the Protestant. I thought it was about Martin Luther King Jr. and made a comment about him. She told me who Martin Luther was, that the book was about him, and her father would never allow her to have a book about MLK Jr. The idea that someone would forbid their child from reading about MLK Jr. was incredible to me. She said that her father did not like blacks and he thought they should all go back to Africa. I couldn’t believe it, so when her father go home, I asked him for myself. This launched him into this tirade about blacks that went on and on. He said terrible things. I was so shocked to be face to face with someone who actually believed those things that all I could do was run out of the house. I went home and never went back.
